“XBMC has been the favorite media center of advanced users for
years, but thanks to easy to install distributions like XBMC Live
Linux and the latest distribution OpenELEC, it is easier than ever
to install XBMC on Linux.The benefit of using Linux instead of Windows 7 is that you will

media center.OpenELEC is the latest attempt to create a small Linux

operating system and media center in less than 15 minutes. Let’s

OpenELEC.
