The core for nghost3 is still a long ways out and it won't be replacing nghost2 anytime soon. We are about 0.1% into the planning phase of nGhost3 so don't hold your breath. If you like the way it looks, shout out, and maybe we'll work harder :p.
Thanks to billygalbreath for creating the code for the prototype used in the video.
nice :)
I like this, very much! I'd be willing to help develop it, though my coding sucks. I can definitely do testing, sounds, etc.
Kev, I think you guys are on the right track here.
Testers are golden. Glad to have your help :D
I love what you all are doing. Ive been on the car pc kick for a while now. Im just now jumping to the linux side for different reasons. I use gentoo mainly and right now im trying to install nghost. Im by no means an expert with linux but i will try to do my best and help. Im thinging i should install ice but i want to see if i can make it work in gentoo first. Im looking forward to updates!
some more demo videos of nghost3. The vids you will see now and moving forward are from trunk of the nghost3 branch in svn:

Will this be friendly enough to use on Ubuntu at home with a mouse and keyboard as sort of a media centre? Or am I oblivious to the fact that there's a much better home media centre out there?
yeah, you'll be able to use it with mouse and keyboard.
You should try elise, it's a really nice media center app.
I guess you mean Elisa?
