A distro like Win Media Center

Ruben2 · 01-29-2005, 12:50 PM

I never used it and don't know exactly what it is (only saw some pics of it and I know Mediaportal ) , but I was wondering if there was a linux version of it. So is there a distro that is like Win. Media Center (not the look but the idea)? If not: are there any plans to make one?

there are a few around yeah, geexbox, freevo, mythtv. I lose track of how all-encompassing these are to be honest though. geexbox is a bootable distro, but mythtv is only an app, but then there's knopmyth with is a version of knoppix built specifically to run mythtv...

Hey, have you found out anything? If you've tested out different distros, I'd love to hear what conclusions you've come to.

Sorry, but I meaned that I checked the sites. I didn't asked this question to use one of the distro's: maybe later but not now. I asked it cause I just was wondering if there was one after I saw some advertisement for win media center. So that also means I haven't tested eaven one of them. Sorry.
