LinuxMCE is a media centered Linux distribution. It's built on the solid foundation laid down by debian and Ubuntu. But with all kinds of goodies for the home of the future, from digital video recorder capabilities and home automation to functioning as a telephone switching hub for your home in lieu of a boring intercom system; all tied together by an advanced messaging infrastructure. While the next release 0810 is almost done and focuses on stability, we're already planning for the next release and you could contribute to it's direction. We're always looking for developers and maintainers to join the team.
