Development Release: GeeXboX 2.0 Alpha 1 |
 |
The first alpha version of GeeXboX 2.0, a standalone, LiveCD-based Linux distribution for home theater or media center purpose, has been released: "This has been announced for years but we're finally stepping forward to the so long awaited 2.0 release of GeeXboX. Today, we're proud to let you have a first try at this new version, based on the Enna Media Center application that we have developed. Enna is a standalone application that one can use on any Linux distribution that replaces the old and dying MPlayer OSD interface we've been using for so long. The GeeXboX distribution you all know about will then become the Enna Live-CD project, but with all optimizations, configuration and tweakings that one may be able to do on his regular computer. New features that have been added or enabled by default: the proprietary NVIDIA video driver has been integrated; the VDPAU hardware decoding engine has been integrated; for non-NVIDIA users, the multi-threaded decoding feature now has been enabled by default..."

| About GeeXboX |
| GeeXboX is a full operating system, running under Linux and based on the excellent MPlayer. No need of hard drive, you just have to put the GeeXboX bootable CD into the CD-Drive of any pentium-class computer to boot it. Moreover, GeeXboX is a free software, created thanks to many open-source software. This means that everyone can modify it and build his own release of the GeeXboX. You may wonder why you could have to boot on another operating system to play your media files, but just think about the Mini-ITX plateforms like VIA Epia/Eden or Shuttle barebones. It's now affordable to bring DivX to your home cinema, plugging this kind of computers directly to your TV. At the time of the first development release (December 2002), it was only able to play DivX movies, but for now, nearly every kind of media files can be played from GeeXboX. |
