G'day all
I've been playing around with HTPCs recently and was after some advice.
I use a Shuttle SN68SG2 as an HTPC, it's currently running XP with VLC, BlazeTV, Media Monkey and ACDSee for Movies, PVR, Music and Photos. This works well but is much more complicated than my wife likes so I'm looking at some alternatives.
I've run Ubuntu on a few PCs in the past and really like it. This makes me think either XBMCbuntu or Mythbuntu would be a good choice. Can any users of both give me ideas on which is easier to navigate (Remote/KBD/Mouse)? Other suggestions would be more than welcome too. I'm after a single simple interface for all of my media which resides on a Win7 PC.
Cheers
