Are there papers out there from other companies that detail what performance levels have been achieved using Linux in a similar device to the Netflix OCA? Maybe they just use two devices that have 90% of the performance?

I remember doing this along with a co-worker, I think my Duron was $60 or $80? Saved me a ton of money vs a P3 and board. Might have been long enough to have found the parts on Pricwatch.com?

Justin Frank used to hang out on IRC in #winprog or something, and I can remember when he was showing us how he made the UI skinnable. Asking for ideas and input etc. This was back in 96-97?
