You geuss right, linux only. much cheaper than the bridge though. I
tried gentoox on there before (by shallax I think) was a little heavy
even with xfce, but should run great as a 24/7 rtorrent box
/smbserver/media tomb :) 

What ever you choose, good luck and remember xbox-scene has great
tutorials/guides to help.
