XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 Released, Now Cross-Platform

Posted by timothy on from the let-a-thousand-flowers-bloom dept.

An anonymous reader writes with a welcome followup to last year's promise of XBMC being made available for Linux: "The first cross-platform Beta version[s] of XBMC Media Center for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and Xbox have now been released in preparation for an upcoming stable release, code named 'Atlantis.'" Now, though, there are binaries available for download through the XBMC Media Center site, though only for the non-Xbox versions.

    untrue, Linux source is available. Any proper /.'er should have no issues compiling themselves ;-) Binaries only for Ubuntu at the moment as that is the target/dev environment.

    Does that mean that we can rearrange them any way we like? XBMC == XMBC == XCBM == XCMB == MBCX == CXMB == CMXB == BMXC ad naseum?

    "Ad nauseum"? Remind me never to get on a Tilt-a-Whirl with you. There are only 24 permutations.

    I'd be likely to take you more seriously if you could spell Elan Feingold's name correctly.
