Hey all,
Im nearly a week into using the lastest Ubuntu on an old laptop and i have to say im loving it. I have networked this ubuntu laptop with an XP laptop, with the XP machine containing all media files.

So im currently testing out media centres for ubuntu:
* xbmc - the laptop graphics card is too old to run this properly
* moovida - does not yet support shared folders on a network

What other options do i have?
Cheers
