I have one of these...
Rob : Yes, it does run Linux. You can telnet into it over the network port.
I've been using one of these for a few weeks and have been very impressed so far. I have it hooked up to my network using a couple of 200MB homeplug adapters. Media is sat on an SMB share on my Mac upstairs.
It has played everything I have tried including VOB files with DD5.1 soundtracks (the digital audio just works when hooked up to my amp via the optical connector), quicktime, avi etc.
I only have an SD panel (42" Panasonic) but the 720P Quicktime trailer for 'Up' looks so good that I'll never convince the wife that we need to upgrade to HD.
The only negatives I have are the remote which is not great, the power connector which is a bit loose and I think it's a shame that there is no way of setting up a 'favourite' location on the network for shared files. None of these are showstoppers for me.
I'd be interested to know if anyone is streaming off a DNLA enabled NAS device such as the Iomega IX2-200 to one of these.
