Really hate to think I need to do a needs assessment and C.B.A. from home for home

linuxmce has a interesting interface includes X10 and VOIP integration.
Not sold on it, WindowsMCE has free scheduling until 2013?
Need a better convert to dvd that what it has now.

So you going to hange out the htpc assessment and implementation shingle? Interesting option.

it would have added to the build,plus I haven't dabbled in that yet.
I'll try it in the future and thx. I love the way this thing looks.
