July 17th, 2007 | Ubuntu, Linux by thLinuxMCE is a free, open source add-on to Ubuntu including a 10′ UI, complete whole-house media solution with pvr + distributed media, and the most advanced smarthome solution available.
Absolutely fantastic introduction video available here. Though it’s quite biased comparison against Windows Media Center, it demonstrates LinuxMCE’s features pretty well.

If you’ve ever considered building a Linux Media Center box, LinuxMCE is definitely the software bundle to use with it. More screenshots and videos here.
