Linux Finally Getting XBMC

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-live-without-it dept.

B47h0ry'5 CuR53 writes "XBMC is getting ported to Linux. A few developers of Team-XBMC have begun the porting of XBMC to Linux using OpenGL and the SDL toolkit. In this effort, they are recruiting developers. XBMC is, by far, one of the finest projects to come out of the open source community; and to think it is homebrew. XBMC is a massive project, with the current SVN branch weighing about 350M before compilation. Porting it will be a big effort and any hackers willing to contribute should check out the Linux port project."

    Long-winded, greasy summary tells you absolutely nothing about what the damn thing is. It's worse than the worst sales brochure I've ever read. And we have to read this comment to figure out what the fuck it's talking about.

    Taco, you're still a moron.
