Although I never met one of these, not personally, sure they have
ethernet connections not to feel so (stand) alone, but I'd be very
surprised if any of them could do much more than their expected
functions, which do not include running your preferred Ubuntu release,
unless you find a very clever way to plug in your keyboard, monitor,
etc. to their single USB port, and make them work. But then, why don't
you just open Rhythmbox, find a nice internet radio station just like
this: http://www.radioswissjazz.ch/en/webradio , and save your 150
bucks (at Amazon) to buy a good speaker system?
