    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone know of a good program to use as a front end for my multi-media box. I would like it to be able to be controlled from a wireless remote, and have options for Audio, Video, and Emulators. I currently run Mandrake 9.2, but I can change that around if the right software is found...

    Thank you in advance =)

    MyHTPC is very good, I recommend it, but if you want to keep with Manny then go with MythTV

    Thanks guys, I am not 100% certain, but I am playing around with just writing an XML page and have that boot full screen to launch apps. I will check out your suggestions though..

    Thanks alot

    MythTV is VERY good :D I am currently setting it up with Fedora and have a few bits working (not the TV bit yet though). I just used apt-get install mythtv-suite to get most of it running, then followed a 'how-to' to get it to where it is now :) I think my next task is the get the DVD ripper to compress things instead of just doing a direct copy.
