[infra_red_dude]

LinuxMCE is a free, open source add-on to Kubuntu including a 10' UI, complete whole-house media solution with pvr + distributed media, and the most advanced smarthome solution available. It is stable, easy to use, and requires no knowledge of Linux and only basic computer skills.

To get the full feel of LinuxMCE however, you need at least 2 or 3 computers, preferably in different rooms, as well as a nice, redundant server which doesn't crash. And they have to be networked. It looks more difficult than it probably is, but the payoff appears terriffic.
