Heheh funny..I *just* found this same project/product two days ago and 
was going to post about the same thing...I've downloaded the ISO but 
haven't actually installed it yet...I'd LOVE to think that this could be 
the nice glue between my asterisk, Misterhouse and my future 
MythTV...has anybody tried it out yet or have any comments on it?
