Personal Computing

  • LinuxMCE's screen saver can turn a regular TV off (when there's no activity) and back on automatically.
  • Web pages can be browsed on the Media Directors.
  • Web pages can be browsed on Orbiters.
  • OpenOffice can be used on a Media Director.
  • The KDE desktop (Kubuntu) can be accessed on a Media Director.
  • Every LinuxMCE Media Director has a full computer built-in. Today's high-def TVs make great monitors.
  • When you have multiple homes with LinuxMCE systems, they can all be joined as one. Every LinuxMCE Core can automatically create a VPN (virtual private network) connection to the others. It's safe and fully encrypted. The benefit is that you can go from one house to another and know that you will still have access to all your files no matter where you are without the hassle of copying them.
  • LinuxMCE automatically creates a network share for each family member so you can put all your normal computer files there, too. You can access any of your files anytime, anywhere - LinuxMCE automatically creates a password-protected personal web page for each family member.
