Chris Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 The question you may wonder is probably : "Dude, what exactly is this GeeXboX project I've heard so much about ?" ;-)Well, you're at the right place !Ok, we'll try to make it simple. The GeeXboX is no more than an awesome standalone media player. Why such a name ? Well, its main purpose is to play DivX movies and, as everybody usually call this kind of projects DivX boxes, we'll just prepended a "GeeX", cause that's for the geeks you all are ;-)So, GeeXboX is a full operating system, running under Linux and based on the excellent MPlayer. No need for a hard drive, you just have to put the GeeXboX bootable CD into the CD-Drive of any Pentium-class computer to boot it. Moreover, GeeXboX is free software, created as open-source software. This means that everyone can modify it and build his own release of the GeeXboX.More | HereI tried it and it does work :o Although I can't say I have a need for it.
