- SUSE 10.0/10.1 Multimedia
A Media Centre allows you to hold all of your digital media like a giant jukebox, all accessable via your remote control. MythTV is probably the best Media Centre available at the moment for Digital TV. I have had it in production for over a year now and have used it every day. Many thanks to Issac Richards the maintainer and all the active developers.

- Connecting your PC to your TV
Whether you want to browse your computer on your TV screen and watch movies stored in your computer on your TV, or you want to do the opposite (like watching your favorite TV shows on your PC), this article discusses the how-to as well as the benefits and the problems of each option (and what you can do to get around them). You may also want to do both (record your favorite shows on your PC but watch them on your TV). Whichever of these you're trying to do, the intention of this article is to provide a concise explanation of how to converge your TV with your PC.
There are many different ways of connecting your PC to your TV. This article explores the many ways.

- GeeXboX Project
GeeXboX is a media center software suite for personal computers, based on Linux and MPlayer, and implemented as a Live CD. As such, the system does not need to be permanently installed to a hard drive, as most modern operating systems would; instead, the computer can be rebooted with the GeeXboX CD when media playback is desired. This is a reasonable approach for who do not need media playback services while performing other tasks with the same computer, for users who wish to repurpose older computers as media centers, and for those seeking a free alternative to Windows XP Media Center Edition.

- StreamBOX-LiveCD
What is StreamBOX-LiveCD? StreamBOX-LiveCD is a selfmade, KNOPPIX based Boot-CD, which is specially designed to stream MP3. Also there are some programs to stream in the OGG-Vorbis-Format. If you ask, why I reinvented the wheel, because you know of the very nice dyne:bolic project, please read my Dyne:bolic page. Concrete the following programs should help to get the streaming working...: * Dstream (selfmade, Dialog based script to stream with Freestream) * Tstream (selfmade, like Dstream, but with dump to the harddrive) * OGGstream (building the configfiles for darkice or ices...) * Freestream * Icecast Server I + II * Darkice * Ices2 * xmms-crossfade

Note: Also I wrote a detailled streaming-howto, which should teach people to stream over the internet very easily. You can grab this document as a postscript-file to print.
