I have an old computer that i want to turn into a media center for my household. The problem is, I really want a linux distro on it if possible. I know Tversity and Twonky don't support linux, but is there a distro or program I could use to stream my videos?

You skipped over what your rather doing. Are you construction a clean computing gadget? if so then MacOS is out. Then the alternative is purchase homestead windows for a minimum of a $a hundred or get Linux loose. in case you're procuring a computing device it already has an OS on it, and you ought to % what OS you like. Mac's are overpriced for my section, and almost all laptops incorporate homestead windows, the recent mini laptops are coming with Linux yet you may get XP on them too. I even have been utilising XP for years. it rather is large basic to setup and use. It has truthfully the main courses obtainable for it. I in basic terms put in Ubuntu Linux on an old computing gadget of mine (rather, Xubuntu) and it worked completely. put in itself. internet worked in basic terms by using plugging interior the cable. Too basic. I suddenly met hardship with it as quickly as i began out to objective and replace my video drivers to Nvidia rather of the superbly stable coated ones. do no longer ask. It become a discomfort. i might say decide for Linux in case you're into it, yet first i might seek around and be certain each and all of the courses you're prepared to apply are obtainable for Linux. That way you will no longer get arranged up in basic terms to discover some thing you like isn't Linux properly suited.
