"To help the unit function as an actual Home Theater PC, Aopen has included a feature called InstantON. As the name suggests, this is a utility that allows the unit to boot very quickly; in this case, it boots into a mini-OS based off of Linux. InstantON was able to load up to the appropriate screen - FM, DVD/SVCD, or TV - in about 15 seconds,"
i apologize if this should be in the sff forum instead
