Question

Can I install Linux on Vaio?

Answer

A common approach for Windows based Media PCs is to install Windows MCE as the operating system. This release of Windows includes additional software that covers the PVR functions of the Media PC, including free program guide information and automatic program recording. When building your own Windows MCE based Media PC it is worth noting that Windows MCE does not, of itself, provide an MCE certified MPEG2 codec, although one can be purchased from Intel, or is alternatively included when purchasing Intervideo's WinDVD
