As a new Linux PPC Dreambox (<http://www.dreambox.net.au/index.html>) 
owner, I would love to have more control on my decoder and enjoy RR on the 
big screen!

So it's possible that RR might be interested in spanning the RR linux

More platforms = more clients and in terms of "appliances", this could be 
a big show
for the RR logo ;)
