[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 834854, member: 323322"] Linux boxes can still be Closed Source ..................... Things like Dreambox are Open Source as they are widely customisable with various Images, Plug-Ins etc. I have a couple of Skybox F3s, which use Linux but are not Open Source as I cannot do much to alter its looks, feel, operating methodology, menu structure etc. and can only use embedded features rather than having an external and independent resource for adding features. The former is great for real enthusiasts, but the latter is far easier to get to grips with. [/QUOTE]
