    Impressions? I know it's a long way to go to beat XBMC, but I can see it already as a better choice than MythTV/Mythbuntu. I'll certainly give it a go. Hopefully the community will get behind it

    Might give it a try. It seems to use XBMC
    Though I really don't like the new screen set-up.

    Then change it :p the beauty of open source is that you make it what you want. I quite like it, with a bit of skinning and fanart it will look amazing. I hate the unity interface on the desktop, but it certainly has a place here.

    Looks interesting enough.

    But I have OpenElec on my HTPC because I wanted something close to an appliance with minimal messing around and config. If you've got to bring up the command prompt and do sudo this and apt-get that then it'll never catch on with normal people.

    i don't see the software center or web browser. anybody have any knowledge about that.
    also a 1tb hard drive is a MUST

    If I wanted to get into changing things I wouldn't be using Ubuntu, would I? :D

    But maybe you're right, perhaps it does work as a media player interface.
