Linux for streaming web

Hi,

So is it worth it to install Linux on a PC that will be connected to my TV just to stream hockey?

Did it uninstall itself? I was doing some cleanup this weekend and since I wasn't playing it I decided to uninstall it but it was already uninstalled?

Re: New PC Time

I think I'll wait until Sept and see the prices drop on video cards. I priced a 3700 PC and it's about 50$ cheaper and I've always been an Intel guy.

Thanks for the info KROM.

Until you can go at least 1000KM per charge and charge it to almost full in an hour, I won't be buying this. A hybrid is a diff story though but even then they need to be better
