I'm currently using Vista64 Home Premium for my HTPC.
It works pretty well, but I have this wierd need to constantly tinker with things when they're working perfectly fine...
I was wondering if anyone is using an Ubuntu based MC, Moovida, MythTV or maybe something I'm not familiar with that might be better than Windows...
I have a decent amount of storage on the HTPC itself (2 drives, 1.5TB), so I don't think it would be a problem to partiton the C: drive and make it dual boot, just to try new things.
System Specs for HTPC:
Mobo: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO (would the VIA Audio chip be a problem?)
CPU: Phenom II X3 720 (not unlocked/stock)
Mem: Crucial 4x1Gb 1333 DDR3 budget memory
Video: Visiontek 4850 512k
Tuner: Haupagge 1600 dual tuner
HD's: WD Black 500gb and Samsung F2 (green) 1tb
DVD: LG Blu-Ray combo with Lightscribe
I installed Ubuntu 9.10 (dual boot) on my main rig just to get a feel for things, but I'm having serious problems with it recognizing my wireless card.
But I digress.... The HTPC is hardwired and not wireless.
Any comments or suggestions on Linux based Media Center software would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks... Dave
