I do have a ubuntu install on my philips freevents now. I followed some instructions on the forums... http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1844744&postcount=18
The problem now is that the kernel built from the sources in 7.10 fail in loads of other areas. The machine works OK running 7.10 packages and upgrades but using the kernel built from the previous version.
