Mediabox dist?

[Travis Roy]

Yah, I was looking for something tiny. I have this nice little 750meg 2.5"
drive that I pulled out of an old mac that works okay. Figured a nice small
linux dist. and mount my big drive off the server for all the videos/mp3s
that way I could fit it in a nice tiny case and keep it quiet.

Is Freevo it's own player or is it just a frontend. I've seen pics of the
interface but how is it to navigate? Would you use it as a settop box?
