Here in the US, it's 'buyer beware'. I could return it, |
| 9 |
but since I was going to purchase the unit mail-order |
| 10 |
that's problematic. |

I guess I'll just take a laptop and find a store that sells |
| 14 |
a prospective unit and see what firefox can do over ethernet. |

Active 'X controls and such are often embedded in the |
| 16 |
products embedded web server and that sort of thing |
| 17 |
or any proprietary issues, will preclude Gentoo from |
| 18 |
either working or enjoying the full set of control features. |

If this is the case, I'm not spending the extra money. |
| 21 |
But since I'm spending new money, then it would be nice |
| 22 |
to see a robust, Open Source friendly at least, solution |
| 23 |
before I pay extra for an ethernet interface on an Integrated |
| 24 |
AV media server. |

Field testing looks like my only recourse as these sort |
| 27 |
of details are sparsely documented, to say the least.... |
