I second that.

It's a very popular remote, so it's supported by a lot of the linux htpc distro's like geexbox.

what kind of things will it control? did a quick search but its pretty vague "control TV, media" etc

will it control:

winamp
media player
explorer (file browsing)
shutdown
task switching
?

cheers

CyberGhost

it can control anything!

and it has 6 functions, meaning you can assign 6 buttons to any application that supports keyboard shortcuts
