Element 1.1 for home theater PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| Element is a lightweight Linux distribution 
| for use on a home theater PC (HTPC). It comes 
| with most of the same video-playback 
| applications one would find in a modern 
| desktop distribution, but the development 
| team has put considerable effort into 
| wrapping the applications in an environment 
| that is easy to navigate from across the 
| room, and comfortable for non-multimedia-
| hackers. Tough challenges still remain for 
| any HTPC distribution at the hardware and 
| configuration level, but Element's results 
| are definitely an improvement over basic 
| Linux systems in setup, application 
| integration, and usability.

Element OS- Your ultimate entertainment Linux OS.

,----[ Quote ]
| It is based on the  Debian Packaging System
| (.deb), same one that Ubuntu uses. Unlike
| other Debian/Ubuntu based systems, Element OS
| utilizes its own online app center for
| software installations, where many of the most
| popular Linux applications that are compatible
| with our interface standards have been ported.
