GeexBox - Linux For Multimedia Applications


GeeXboX is a free and open-source media centre oriented Linux distribution for embedded devices and desktop computers.

It is a full-featured operating system that can be booted from a live CD, a USB key, an SD/MMC card or it can be installed on a regular hard disk drive.

The GeeXboX distribution is lightweight and designed for one single goal - to embed all major multimedia applications in order to turn any computer into a home theatre personal computer.
