Hi all,
I'm doing some research in building a media centre, and I seriously
don't know which one of the many options on Linux to go for. They all
look good, have their weaknesses and strengths, so I thought I'd canvass
the opinion here and see what people feel.
My requirements are modest: the ability to record TV (that comes through
a digital set-top box), play music and movies from a network share
(running FreeNAS) and play the occasional DVD . I don't need heaps of
config settings, simple UI would be preferable cause the non-geek
members of the household should be able to use it too.
The current choices are:
Boxee
XBMC
MythTV (Mythubuntu)
Moovida
Let me know if I'm missing anything important!
Cheers
