GeeXboX

GeeXboX
After countless years of development, the 2.0 release of GeeXboX (codename “Love It or Shove It”) finally has landed. The GeeXboX project was created in December 2002, 9 years ago, to become the major HTPC / MediaCenter dedicated Linux distribution. From a ridiculous 3 MB ISO image, using an ultra-simple customized version of MPlayer OSD, GeeXboX now has evolved into a much more mature system. Our objective always has been to provide you with a Linux distribution, so easy to use, that anyone, regardless of any computer skill, would be able to make use of it. Over the years, the project has evolved to always provide more features and bring support to more and more hardware devices, which we managed to do, at some cost. The architecture that has been originally designed, with the whole UI being MPlayer’s OSD, prevented us from easily adding major features and the look&feel started to look deprecated within the years.

Which Media Center Is Right for You: Boxee, XBMC, and Windows Media Center Compared @Nitesh Singh: I'd kind of like to know as well. I could easily see it being an issue with ATI being stingy with access to its drivers as they have in the past, but at the same time, I wouldn't put it past Nvidia to put down a little financial pressure to keep things one-sided. @acceptablerisk: What's up with the conspiracy theories? XMBC is open source, that pretty much excludes any financial gain from supporting only Nvidia... @minivolt: Oh, I suspect it's much more along the lines of Nvidia being more open about access to their drivers and APIs than about anything underhanded. On projects like this it's probably not even worth their time (or in the case of XBMC, it's completely improbable) to cut out other players.

Kubuntu Linux - Distributions GNU/Linux Kubuntu est une distribution GNU/Linux, dérivée du très répandu Ubuntu, la réelle différence entre ces deux distributions résidant dans le choix de l’environnement par défaut, en effet Ubuntu utilise l’environnement Gnome, alors que Kubuntu utilise KDE. Mêmesi, avant la sortie de Kubuntu, il était déjà possible d’installer l’environnement KDE sur Ubuntu, une telle installation aboutissait à quelques imperfections contrariantes à l’usage. De plus il était parfois impossible d’installer aisément des logiciels KDE. Désormais, l’équipe Ubuntu propose le support de KDE à travers le sous-projet Kubuntu. Tous les paquetages sont issus des mêmes archives que celles d’Ubuntu Linux.
