Linux Powered Home Theatre

LixSystems has introduced a low-cost Linux powered home theater PC (HTPC) packaged in a compact, consumer electronics-style enclosure. The Lx8100-MN, available "barebones" (sans CPU, memory, and hard drive) for around $300, offers quiet operation and is supplied with an easily-installed Fedora 5-based system image on DVD, according to the company.

The LX8100-MN comes with a Linux installation DVD that is meant to simplify the installation of virtually all required software on the device, once the user has outfitted the system with a processor, memory, and disk drives.

The installation DVD's Linux OS image includes a Fedora 5-based 2.6.16 Linux kernel, along with an extensive set of drivers as well as support for support for USB, card reader audio, a "fully configured LIRC" (Linux Infrared Remote Control) receiver that works with the included handheld remote control, and a set of HTPC-oriented applications.
