[BLUG] LinuxMCE anyone?

Has anyone tried out or have experience using the HTPC distro LinuxMCE?  I am looking to set up a home theater system once I’m through with grad school in December and am starting to investigate.  It certainly has all of the features I want (cable tv ripping, media streaming, voip phone networking, security features, and home automation) but I am leery of committing to it due to all of the specific hardware requirements.  I am also leery of any Linux distro that claims to be this easy to set up knowing that it has to use bunches of specialized hardware to realize it’s full functionality.

 

I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has experience setting it up and configuring it.

 

Thanks.

 

Dirk
