Sorry to go off topic, but I would love a chance to try out boxee! I have been hearing good things.

Haven't heard anything about it since that article that was posted on digg a few months ago...

EDIT: If you want to use your computer for a lot of media (video, music, etc) then you might find this helpful: http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2006/06/12/how-to-get-full-multimedia-support-and-playback-capabilities-in-ubuntu-desktop-linux/

There are tons of options. I prefer LinuxMCE http://linuxmce.com/ It's based of Kubuntu. The interface is sleek.

I have an old ubuntu PC connected to my TV, and im loving this xbmc software. It even plays .avi video smoothly as it chops in vlc and gxine.

If you want an invite you'll need to pm me and give your email address.

I prefer to just use upnp to connect my media to my ps3 - makes my friends jealous and lets me have an awesome media centre where I can still use the PC to browse the web or whatever.
