can you use meedio with linux?

reason I ask is my htpc build has been put on hold for the last few days (8) because of xp pro issues, first it wouldnt load, then it wouldnt load properly then it wouldnt see the hard drive...on and on.

I think, if I can, just to use linux and forego the headache they call Windows

Meedio is Windows only. Sorry. Linux does have some pretty good htpc options. Check the link "List of HTPC software" in my sig. It shows some linux options.

hmmmm....maybe I'll stick with windows right now. I just have never had this much problem loading an OS...and it figures its an open box MOBO from newegg.

I'll try and drink so much beer tonight that the windows install goes clean. Then we'll see what happens

cool Dh, looking good.

on a side note...your son looks a little cold, you could probably overclock him a few more hundred MHZ

edit: I see why hes running cold...hes liquid cooled LOL (look at his shirt)

Nice camera work. What cooler are you using? I cant wait to get back from this deployment to start work on mine. That Gigabyte motherboard has everything you could possibly want for a HTPC. Blu-ray players are headed down in price. Around $120-$140. Hopefully by the time I build my HTPC they will be down below $100.
