    Linux on MK808B - a few questions

    I tried to find this out by myself before asking, but I failed completely, so please bear with me.

    I'd like to run Linux on my MK808B with wifi working. 1080p resolution would be great if possible.

    1) Should I install Picuntu or homeIO? Is there even any difference?

    2) I read this, which apparently contains a patch to make the wifi work on the install for the non-B MK808, but I don't quite understand what I'm supposed to do to get it working. I'm familiar with Linux environments but I've never done complex things such as recompiling kernels.

    3) Can 1080p resolution be achieved under Linux?

    Thank you for this message. This is the first time I have heard about "homeIO", but it sounds interesting aswell.
    So far, I have been looking around for PICUNTU for my mk808b, but no success so far. So me too, I would love to have some answers to your quesition. I frequently check out http://ubuntu.g8.net/ but this too is only for mk808 - non-BT version, afaik. The one-click-installer seems very tempting, but without the use of the internal WiFi, it doesn't seem to useful for me.
    So, if any of you experts out there were willing to help, we (and maybe all other mk808-B users) would be very grateful!
