I've never had an Xbox and i just stumbled across this by accident a while back..
I was looking for something to replace a few Winxp mediacenter pc's that i have in the house.
I was looking for a lightweight alternative and tried Geexbox but that do not have thumbnails for the movies so my kids cannot use it without adult help...
Mythpc and Mediaportal was IMO too complicated to set up.
XBMC on linux is looking very promising, Xubuntu has installed without problem on all my Pc's ( Dualboot for now...) Recognizing all my hardware, MCE remote, network etc etc, the only thing you have to fix is graphic driver configuration.
XBMC is nice with movie library function and thumnails and other great features...
I hope in futute, you can add emulator support to this XBMC port also and run the same scripts ( Apple movietrailer, etc etc) that is available on the original XBMC...
Typical that i have mostly Ati card in my Pc's and getting the Green picture, But the future is looking so bright i gotta wear shades!!!
Sorry for this spacewaster of a post but I'm so excited, and just can't hide it!!! La lalala la....
