Star OSNews Asks: A Good HTPC Linux Distribution
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 30th Oct 2009 12:07 UTC
Linux I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I have an Atom 330-based tiny computer which I use as my HTPC. It performed its job fine running Windows 7 and Boxee, and over the past few months, it ran Mac OS X Leopard with Plex. Now, however, I want to try Linux as an HTPC operating system, but I kind of ran into a roadblock there with Ubuntu 9.10 - so the question is: what is a good HTPC Linux distribution?

But you could certainly try to have a few key groups release synchronously, like X + Kernel + Gnome + KDE. That's basically happening now with them all moving to 6 or 3 month timed releases.

Except that Xorg's releases have not exactly been timed, and have been a ragedy mess when they've come. And KDE's releases have been trying to recover from the disaster of the 4.0.0 release for coming up on 2 years now.

I think that greater overall coordination is, indeed, possible. We are not so close to perfection as to preclude the prospect of improvement.
