Like what? There is nothing a Linux box gives me over MCE 2005. Actually, I'd have to say the Linux box may be missing a thing or two. Don't get me wrong though, I run a combination of Linux and Windows in this house, and each have their pluses and minuses. Free is a plus for Linux, but $99 for an OS (About what an OEM copy of MCE 2005 can be found for) and free guide data for life is too good a deal. Last I checked (about 3 to 4 months ago), with the Linux box, you have to still 'pay' for your guide data. It stopped being free. So sooner or later, you are going to pay more for your guide data than you did for your MCE 2005 copy.

And I can't remember a crash - its simply XP Pro with Media Center Capabilities. So for stability, it is a rock.
