XBMC's Linux port lacks impressive features

,----[ Quote ]
| Today, XBMC is still best for people who own an Xbox. If you want a 
| full-featured media center for your Linux desktop, consider an application 
| like LinuxMCE that has TV tuner support and home automation controls.

Linux media center distro adds flashy features

,----[ Quote ]
| LinuxMCE appears to comprise a set of add-ons -- such as the MythTV DVR 
| (digital video recorder), for example -- that sit on top of Kubuntu, the 
| version of Ubuntu that uses KDE (K desktop environment). It adds numerous 
| fancy features, including the optional alpha-blended UI (user interface) 
| shown in the screenshots below.

LinuxMCE 1.1 Released -- Now Runs KDE

,----[ Quote ]
| There's also word that LinuxMCE, since it works so well with the
| KDE desktop environment, that the guys at the KDE project are
| seriously considering integrating LinuxMCE into their upcoming
| 4.0 release. Now this is HUGE! If combined in the KDE 4.0 release,
| LinuxMCE + Kubuntu would be a free, open-source competitor/aternative
| to Windows Vista Ultimate.
