I came across this tonight and FINALLY a Media Center solution that is what I have been looking for. If your into media center/htpc stuff, I highly recommend you check it out.
The website is... http://linuxmce.com/ or http://linuxmce.org/
Here is a demo video that is 24+ minutes long and really goes thru the setup, options, and usage.
Here is a link to Google Video for the impatient

But I recommend watching the HiRes version located here..
ftp://ftp.fiire.com/pub/linuxmce (420MB)
A company called Fiire has started selling hardware tailored to it and can be seen here.. http://www.fiire.com/index.php
Apparently its still pretty new so the hardware list is still a bit limited but thats just a matter of time.
Finally a solution where you can share a TV tuner across your network that has a usable interface is exactly what I have been waiting for. Or at least an interface that the wife and kids can actually use, vs something like VLC etc.
Well I won't give it all away.. thats half the fun of watching the video.
Enjoy
