How Hackable is the Neuros Link? VERY!

Posted on 20 November 2008, at 1:18 pm, by Joel McLaughlin

Still being very geeked about the announcement from Neuros, at lunch I was perusing the forums on the Neuros site and discovered just how hackable the Neuros Link will be. The answer is: VERY

The Neuros Link is running Ubuntu 8.10 according to Joe Born’s post in the forum and the specs page. That means that you can pretty much run any variant of Ubuntu on it. Joe himself has installed Boxee on the Neuros Link, so it may even be possible to get Mythbuntu running on the box since you can probably add a USB Tuner to it as well.

UPDATE: Found more….the Neuros Link runs a Athlon CPU, so it’s x86 box! This is VERY good news!
