LinuxMCE brings together a number of software components in an integrated environment. In other words, it is a collection of many pieces of open source software with their own websites and development communities. Every installation can be a custom mix of devices, plug-ins and other modules. LinuxMCE Home's primary documentation explains how LinuxMCE works, how to install it and set it up, and how to use it if you have a standard installation with the normal LinuxMCE devices and plug-ins.

Open source and licensing

More information regarding LinuxMCE's relationship to open source can be found on the open source information page, the license information page, what to do if you're an open source developer, and LinuxMCE's open source strategy.


LinuxMCE Home Software Sections

This section of the documentation explains each of the software modules in detail: how to use them, configure them, and program them. The software modules are divided into the following groups of software written by LinuxMCE: Core Programs, Libraries, Utilities, DCE Devices and Plug-ins. Since independent programmers are welcome to make contributions and LinuxMCE will be happy to host them and the documentation for others to use, there are also sections for 3rd party modules: Plug-ins, DCE Devices and Utilities.
