[QUOTE="Bram, post: 125894, member: 17179"] It would be a great boost for MP if it would run on Linux. Loads of new things can be done. Also, there are numerous people looking for such a solution in the Linux community, which include a lot of programmers. I'm pretty sure a port to linux will make MP bigger then WindowsMCE, and all other HTPC solutions together. Shall I start planning distibution of computers with LinuxMP installed? I think today, a 500 Euro PC will do the trick (consumers price), all features supported. A Windows MCE machine that can do all MCE supports, will cost at least three times that price. It would be a guaranteed hit! But it sounds like a LOT of work, if we don't want most of the advantages lost (by having to use interfaces like Wine). *Typing this from my Ubuntu XGL/Beryl workstation :) [/QUOTE]
