6/9     Does anyone have a FreeBSD box set up via a TV-out card to play
        divx and other movie formats to a TV?  FreeBSD because I happen to have
        a box already running (my file/print server) in the same room as the
        TV and want to see if I can use it to play MPEG-4 and friends.  What
        players/cards should I look at?  -John
        \_ You should check the http://freebsd.org hardware compatibility list online.
                \_ I have.  I was sort of hoping for recommendations based
                   on experience.  -John

freebsd.org -> www.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, AMD64, Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It provides robust network services under the heaviest loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response times for thousands of simultaneous user processes. Run a huge number of applications The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost, high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical alternative to commercial UNIX workstations. Easy to install FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if you have a network connection, you can install it directly over anonymous FTP or NFS. Contributing to FreeBSD It is easy to contribute to FreeBSD. All you need to do is find a part of FreeBSD which you think could be improved and make those changes (carefully and cleanly) and submit that back to the Project by means of send-pr or a committer, if you know one. This could be anything from documentation to artwork to source code.
