Linux heads for TVs and videos | |

A group that aims to make Linux run in television sets and other consumer electronics products is growing in clout TimeSys, a seller of Linux designed to be embedded into various computing devices, has joined the Consumer Electronics Linux Forum, and its competitor, MontaVista Software, plans to announce a similar move next week. TimeSys will help Celf achieve its goal of making Linux work better in consumer-electronics devices such as television sets and DVD players, the company said. Celf works on ways to produce devices with features such as faster start-up and shut-down, lower memory requirements, faster performance and lower power consumption. The forum was founded by Matsushita Electric and Sony. NEC, Philips Electronics, Samsung, Toshiba and Sharp joined as appointed members. | ||

I'm almost complete setting up my MythTv box (http://www.mythtv.org). I considered installing Windows XP Media Center Ed. but it would be an illegal install (well, a friend said I could use his MSDN copy since he would never use it, so it's kind of a grey-area as far as legality goes -- and I would be doing development on it for the release of a future product perhaps, so it might not be all THAT illegal, but whatever).
Anyhow, if you can deal with the 20 hour setup, Linux as a media PC isn't terrible, it's just very painful and time consuming to set up. |
