[ILUG] RE: Linux on an XBox

[Brian O'Mahony]

Erm

Its been years so apologies. Mediaportal is what I was running on a shuttle PC at the time. XBMC was what I was running on the xbox. Just thought of that. Might dig out my old xbox to use as a media server too and mess around with it. :P

[So basically, I don't think my previous mail was much help - didn't think it , or remember it through]

I did this years ago, but instead of installing linux, I used avalaunch which replaced the xbom dashboard, and then mediaportal as the media server (it had everything I eneded built into it)

I would imagine mediaportal, if it is still around, would be something like you are looking for.

Afternoon, 

I'm looking at using an XBox as a media server.  It's a common enough thing to do however I've a small extra to try to include. 

It would be great if the media software ran in the Gnome Desktop manager and was GTK based so that I could run Orca with it. 

Importantly though, it has to look good and flashy and it has to be incredibly easy for a non-computer person to use.  
--> MY girlfriend will not be happy  if she's presented with a Gnome desktop when she wants to play music. 

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
