Yes I understand, but my intention was to see what it look like and if I would like the interface. The Media PC that I am using is a pc in every way, just small. see link to Intel D945GCLF2 kit http://www.mini-box.com/Intel-D945GCLF2-kit?sc=8&category=100 . The VMware is on my main system which is a Quad core Duel 2  2.4  Vista64 4GB DDR2 and a core was delegated to Lunix in Vmware.

The LunixMCE worked and I was able to complete the wizard but after all was done I was return to a prompt  to enter User name and password then I got a linux prompt "$". I just wanted to know what should be done now or because of Vmware this is happening. If there is a nother step, then I would like to proseed to see what happens if not, then I would move along.

I do not see why you would say

I'm trying very hard to be nice here...

as I mentioned I an new to Linux and was only seeking help.

The problem was Virtual PC.  ;DI installed VMware and I was able to install LunixMCE with no problems. The only thing is that when all is done and it restarts, it is asking for a user name and password. As this will be Media PC with no keyboard or Mouse what do I do?

LOL  I know that you were going to go there.

I am intending to use it on a the Media PC but I would like it see it in action before bringing down the PC.

I was looking around today and found XBMC Media Center. I will also try to take a look at it.

Yea that could be the problem but I am unable to set the UI as I am still at the first option to select the video card in the setup phase. 

First of all, I am new to Lunix.   I was looking for something to run on my media pc to watch videos while using a remote. I know windows and therefore used Vista Media Center which was too heavy for the PC so I am using Windows Xp Media Center 2005, which work ok, but I am looking for something that is light and will run fast. I found LunixMCE and I am trying to install it on my main system using Virtual PC 2007 to see how well it will work and if it will work with my remote.
I was able to install the Lunix MCE DVD but I am getting a problem setting the display. I have tried all the settings but the display is very long, tin and jumble up like the Hz need to be set.  The screen to select the video settings do not show the Hz as it is well out of the display. I do not understand why this is happening as I have a 22 inch monitor. I have also plug a 15 inch monitor in and reinstall it but the same thing happens.
Am I missing something or have I done something wrong?

See the attach image.

Thanks for your help in advance.
