From LinuxMCE
My name is Seth Jerome, my user name is just seth or in irc seth|eeepc. I am located in Pitman, Pennsylvania. And I have been a linux convert since 1993. I am also a Knoppmyth convert who discovered LinuxMCE. I watched the google video and made the switch with a painful CD install, or rather several, of version 7.04. I have since then tried just about every version up to today. Although the road was bumpy at times, now I would not use anything else. My setup at home is below.
