[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6169"] Hey all, Firstly, I think MP is a wonderful idea, a great alternative from proprietary mediacenters like Microsoft's and Firefly. But we're ignoring a growing OS whose very philosophy (in most cases) is open source and free as in beer: Linux. I understand that there is mediacenter software available for Linux, but these programs are terribly lacking in features and polish, especially when compared to MP. There are also LiveCD distributions built for this purpose, but who wants to screw around with another whole distribution (which might have its own bugs, hardware issues, etc) and then reboot every time they want to watch a movie? A linux port would be a significant undertaking and even if I had the skill to do such a thing I would cringe at the size of the task. However, I know there must be someone (hopefully some more than one) with the talent, time, and dedication to realize this worthy goal. I humbly make this request of the MP community. Thanks for reading, -KitsuneX [/QUOTE]
