Give boxee time, I'm was using the beta for Ubuntu about 2 weeks ago until I wiped out one of my drives and installed Windows 7. Since the new Ubuntu release came out I'm going to fresh install that on my second drive for dual boot. I'd rather use boxee in the linux environment rather than 7 because Windows boxee client is still in alpha.

I'm not using anything fancy, a dual core 1.8ghz core 2 duo, 2gb of ram and a budget Nvidia card with 512mb of memory. Hi-Def at 720p plays fine, I haven't tried 1080p yet but that should work as well.

All the free streams I have thrown at the TV work nicely, I really like Amazon.com VOD service as well.
