Q. Mac comes with Front Row, but that is not a good program like Windows Media Center. I would preferably would like to watch TV on my Mac. If there are any alternatives to Windows Media Center only available for the PC then tell me. I can run VMWare fusion and run windows on my mac too however I don't think I have enough memory space or processor cards installed for me to be able to do that. I got Windows Vista Basic (it didn't come with Media Center)

If I was to build and sell a small Media Center Computer for £180 - £200 would anyone be interested?
Q. Using Ubuntu as a base I would customize this to make it quick and to the point. Allowing quick access to the web, emails and media center applications. Can I please have some feedback on this idea and whether anyone would be interested in purchasing one.
Just to confirm this will be built to quick and easy access to the web, emails and media files. So not to be used strictly as a computer!

A. At that low of a price, I can't imagine a custom-built computer being any more cost efficient than a pre-made one. That, and I'd have too many compatibility problems with Linux... :P
Can I use linux to stream videos to a windows pc?
Q. I have an old computer that i want to turn into a media center for my household. The problem is, I really want a linux distro on it if possible. I know Tversity and Twonky don't support linux, but is there a distro or program I could use to stream my videos?
