Media Center Machines Abound!

I was reading an article about a Linux-based operating system coded for the upcoming Playstation 3 game console (already?!) and found mentioned in the comments of the article a PVR/Media Center package called MythTV. At version 0.20 they've come a long way at developing a wonderful mix of form and functionality in this grassroots project. This is not meant for your typical novice Windows Media Center newbie but rather for those who seek to take more control over what digital convergence has to offer in the realm of entertainment and function.



Yellow Dog Linux for the PS3, mentioned above, will prove to be a power house taking advantage of the core components of the PS3 architecture and blending them with the functionality and customization of the Linux OS. Looking at the these two solutions I'm starting to see the lines blur among game systems, media center machines, and the typical personal computer. It won't be long 'till we rely on just one machine to centralize all of our tasks and leisures at home.
