LinuxMCE

LinuxMCE is a branch of Pluto Home, it looks good, need to investigate more into removing the GUI on the core though, some more info here.

It is based on Kubuntu and utilises Asterisk, Xine, MythTV, Firefox, VideoLAN and SlimServer.

To begin with I will install this on a spare PC with two sound cards for multi-room and have it operate my amp through serial.

I will probably pick up a USB thermometer and USB relay controller.

Also picked up on using RFID to allow your preferences to follow you around the house, this kit looks promising.
