[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6180"] I also prefer Linux. I evaluated two options, MP and Freevo. I decided on MP for three reasons... features, ease of configuration, and features. Freevo did have one really cool feature that MP doesn't but this is probably for a niche crowd... Game emulators. You can play SNES, Genisis games, etc from inside Freevo. I digress... as much as I hate Windows and the evil empire of Microsoft, I opted for an XP/MP config. While MP on Linux would be cool, a port is a lot of work. MP is based on proprietary MS technologies such as DirectX and .NET. The core of MP would have to be gutted and rewritten. I hear you.. linux is cool... but it apparently doesn't lend to easy use or development of HTPC apps. Cheers! PS - I'm keeping my eye on Freevo in the meantime. I hope MS doesn't put a price on my head for this. [/QUOTE]
