Ubuntu mcs 10.10 32bit Beta | 940.24 MB
This is a customized version of ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. It contains all of the necessary software and tools required for running a media center & Media server.I created this distro to incorperate XBMC, a great media center application ideal for any Big Screen Media Center. The standalone XBMC OS available from the official website works well with wired (LAN) systems but doesn't allow for easy configuration of a wireless Media Center or to adjust/setup a network/ network device. This makes it difficult to use on a device which relies on a WiFi connection so I decided to make a Ubuntu based distro with easily configurable apps pre-installed.
Ubuntu is arguably the most user friendly linux distro available to date. It may not be the lightest OS in terms of footprint but does allow for quick and easy configuration of networks & the sharing of media, whilst providing proven reliability & versatility. I also wanted to be able to run a uPnP media server capable of streaming media to devices such as the Playstation 3, XBOX 360 & other capable devices. For this I've included MediaTomb which is very easy to setup & manage.
Ubuntu_mcs 10.10 Is completely portable in live mode via USB/DVD or it can be fully installed like any other OS.
The iso is just 941MB so even with a 2GB USB stick you can have a fully fledged Portable OS and still have room to install additional drivers, store media files & edit/save documents. Just be sure to make the largest persistence file you can when creating the bootable USB or DVD.

Important Notices
1) *Slow interface: Certain graphics drivers (nVidia, ATI/AMD) cannot be included in the distribution. This results in slow animation of the dock/video playback as only basic drivers are being utilised. To remedy this please install the latest drivers for your hardware. You can also increase performance by closing the dock (right click dock, click cairo and quit) then restarting it by clicking Application Menu > Accessories > Cairo-Dock (no openGL).
Intel based graphics should allow desktop effects without additional drivers.
