It starts with
"WICHTIGE INFORMATION FUER ALLE DUMPFBIRNEN DA DRAUSSEN!
...
Hier sind nur Files, um die dbox2 unter Linux
betreiben zu können. Diese Files sind nur für Experten gedacht, und
nicht für Leute, die sich vor einer Woche Ihre erste SuSE gekauft haben.
Wer nicht ordentlich Erfahrung mit Linux hat, tut sich keinen Gefallen
damit, dies Zeug auszuprobieren. Wirklich. "

That sounds like: we are the greatest and coolest people on earth, anybody
who has not already built ie. compiled linux completly from scratch
including the gcc compiler itself is a looser and should go along.

By the way, the hacked dbox needs a pc with windows to run the streaming
part of their software - evidently their knowledge was not good enough to do
it the 'right' way with linux as the streaming server. Couldn't resist to
make that Seitenhieb.
