LinuxMCE is a free, open source add-on to Kubuntu including a 10' UI, complete whole-house media solution with pvr + distributed media, and the most advanced smarthome solution available. It is stable, easy to use, and requires no knowledge of Linux and only basic computer skills.

Screenshots look good.

Hey, I might try that. It was a bit heavy last time I tried it and had a few minor annoyances, so now I've actually had to switch to a Windows XP solution, which is not too customizable, but basically runs like a dream.

Ninja-edit: But seeing as the interface still is barely customizable, it's just insane overkill for a guy like me, who just wants to play some videos and music from a removable drive.

LinuxMCE is about the hardware. You can customize your hardware setup in unbelievable ways!

I'm looking for an excuse to buy a couple Linutops (linutop.com) (or Mac Minis, or something...) so I can play with this :)

Edit:
Oh, and more than one TV + more speakers so this actually serves its purpose. Hm...
