When I first started my HTPC project, Geexbox was my distro of choice. But when we got a widescreen TV, Geexbox, which didn’t use X.Org at all, could not display widescreen resolutions. In that interval, I tried both Freevo and MythTV (running on Ubuntu), but things have never run as smoothly and easily as they did on Geexbox.

After waiting for many months for high definition support, geexbox has made an unofficial release, which I have tried and am very pleased. It’s like coming home after a long journey.

If you haven’t tried Geexbox (a LiveCD and installable home media center operating system), give a whirl. You can burn their preconfigured ISO to CD or use their simple ISO generator to add features and customize your version. You won’t be disappointed.
