Kudos to the guys who put up this distribution 7.10!
I wave been lamenting for long to setup a opensource mce, but didnt dare to try the mythtv, and other windows versions...this was about 2 years back. The collermaster casing I bought was collecting dust in my store room...until I saw the linuxmce last month.
My experiences with linuxmce was a set of mixed feelings.
1. Downloading the software from Singapore, my location, was a nightmare. After a week of broken downloads, the torrent version came to my help. Finally I managed to cut the DVD.
2. Installation was smooth and so easy to understand! Even though I had issues finding the required settings for PVR150, and the transceiver that came with it (Took me a few days to get this to work), I think it is acceptable for that lack of documentation, it is an opensource. (Probably seeing the video that said everything was plug-and-play hyped up my expectations!)
3. Video CDs did not work. (While when I play them inside the KDE, Caffeine player works well). Ripping of VCD also didnt work. 'Play all' function in pictures did not work (Im expecting a pictureshow. Atleast the button on screen should not be present if it does not work). These are certain features which I feel are simpler to implenment, and will be needed as mandatory.
This is my first week of playing into linuxmce..but once again congrats to the team. You guys can make windows disappear (atleast in homes)
