don't think there is a linux version. But has anyone tried it in WINE?
Linux version of Media Engine
Is there going to be a Linux version of Media Engine?
The reason I ask is because I find a Windows XP install a bit to much for a Carputer. I want a OS that takes no more than 500Mb on a install. (less sources causes less trouble). With Linux you can decide yourself how big your OS install is.
To all the Windows XP users:
- Stays your system stable or do you have to reboot a lot of times?
- How about scandisk, is this bottering you everytime your system doesn't shut down the way it should (abrupt shotdown)??
I haven't decided wich OS I will use yet. I like dashPC but love the Media Engine interface.

I know the site, see the link in my sign. Like it but the looks sucks compared to Media Engine.
I like Windows XP a lot, but it's a shame it takes zo much disk space. Therefore I'm thinking about Linux. Mayby I will combine DashPC and Media Engine....

How is it going with your ON1 IR Remote? Next month I'm buying my IR reciever.

there probably will never be a linux version.. unless wine includes a lot of high level api calls in it.
Look for xplite when it comes out.. you'll be able to scale down the XP install to under 500megs i'm sure

You could just use Win 98, you can install that in less than 100mb and its perfectly stable as long as your not contantly installing and uninstalling software.

I've made my decision, it's going to be Linux. I.m not so happy with win98 or winme. Everything I want can be done with linux.

At first I was thinking about changing the shell of DashPC to something like Media Engine. Now I'll try WINE first.
