I'm thinking of running an Epia based computer as a TV media station without a HD, only a CD with Knoppix. Does the Epia systems have all hardware identified properly in the standard Knoppix? 3.4?

For example: http://www.mycom.se/produkter/434226/

It mentions "Integrated VIA CastleRock AGP graphics with MPEG-2 decoder", will that be enough to play DVDs and XviD etc in Knoppix?

Or would I have to buy an actively cooled 1 GHz version "embedded VIA C3™ E-Series processor for more demanding digital multimedia applications"?

What about removing boot CD to play DVDs?
