It also includes Bluetooth and wireless B/G/N. It has a front panel with 2 USB 2.0 ports, and headphone and microphone jacks. Mine is powered by an Intel quad-core i5-4430 CPU and 4GB RAM, and it comes with a nice batch of ports. The MediaBox is a little sweetheart that holds two 3.5″ SATA3 drives and a CD/DVD drive. But if that’s something you want you may have it, because Linux wants us to be happy. No cable, satellite, nor over-the-air even. It is not a DVR (digital video recorder), and it doesn’t need a TV tuner because I don’t have any broadcast TV. This is a simple system for playing movies and music. I have Xubuntu running on a ZaReason MediaBox. Any Ubuntu variant (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and so on) is exceptionally nice to set up as a media server because they make it easy to get restricted codecs. Just about any Linux makes an excellent media server because it’s lightweight and stable, so you can use whatever flavor you’re most comfortable with.
