Darn, doesn't sound like it'll work for me.

I'm trying to set up a Linux box as a little media client that I can stick in our entertainment cabinet. I'd like it to be able to play music, online video (possibly Netflix if I can get around the "windows IE only" restriction, perhaps with vmware), etc.) directly on the home entertainment system. Things I can do now, but only by hooking the laptop to the back of the TV which means no use of the laptop. So yeah, basically a Roku-like box with the spare parts I've got lying around.

VLC is getting close to being a workable solution but it's not ideal.
