Lifehacker hat eine fantastische Anleitung veröffentlicht, mit der man die Linux-Version des XBMC-Media-Centers mit Hilfe von Ubuntu zu einem boot-fähigen LiveXBMC umbaut.

[…] if you’ve got at least a 1 GB USB drive and a computer that can boot from it, you’re in luck. LiveXBMC, a blend of the XBMC and Ubuntu Linux, lets you do all the same big-screen media playing, […] and other media center goodness without installing a thing, but with saved settings.

Großartig!

Free, open source application Boxee is a new media center application for the Mac (and soon to be Linux and Windows). Based on the open source media center application Xbox Media Center, aka XBMC, which we’ve covered from its humble beginnings on the Xbox classic to its move to your Mac and your thumb drive, Boxee completely reskins XBMC and adds a new social element. With Boxee, your local content seamlessly integrates with web content from sites like Last.fm and YouTube, and Boxee shares what you’re watching, listening to, and liking with all of your friends. #
