Yeah, looks complete enough for me to try :)

btw, can anyone tell me al the distro's which support media ( audio & video) out of the box ?

Also is it debain based ?
 
^^ Linux Mint, Sabayon, Dream Linux .. and if you want debian get Linux mint but its Ubuntu based..

If you want a review of Sabayon, you will see it soon :D
 
Yea, i was reading up and says that the apps are compiled from source. So there is some hitch...

Ubuntu on apps have been pretty smooth whenever i have tried.

So I will wait for your review. :P
 
Well as far as applications are concerned I don't think there will be any problem.. The only problem I faced is poor hardware detection.. It failed to set my resolution correctly [ATI proprietary drivers Catalyst were installed] even editing the xorg.conf was all in vain.. All printer drivers were installed and I couldn't configure my Linux friendly HD AIO 1410... But it might work for you..

As far as review I can't provide it yet.. It won't be earlier than the next month .. Although I have finished it :P

Edit : There are quite a good aps. like Lightscribe Media labeler, which might comes handy for lightscribe drive owner :)

This MCE edition comes with Xbox Media Center so you won't have any problem as far as media needs are concerned :)
 
Hmm Sabayon heard a lot of this distro but never gave it try and but it does look pretty good but some how this logo for sabayon seems free to similar to one of freespire
