| GeeXboX是一份完整的操作系统，它运行Linux内核并基于出色的软件MPlayer。它不需要硬盘，你只要把GeeXboX可启动光盘插入任何一
台奔腾级计算机的光驱就能引导之。此外，GeeXboX是自由的软件，它的诞生要感谢许许多多的开源软件。这意味着任何人都可以修改它并且创建他自己的
GeeXboX发布。你可能会奇怪，为什么要选择引导进另外一种操作系统以播放你的媒体文件呢？但是，请想像一下那些Mini-ITX平台，例如VIA
Epia/Eden或者Shuttle
barebones吧。现在可以把DivX带进你的家庭影院，把这类计算机变成你的电视机。在首个开发版本释出时（2002年十二月），它还只能播放
DivX电影，但现在，几乎所有的媒体文件都能在GeeXboX里播放了。 The second alpha build of GeeXboX 2.0, a Linux mini-distribution for Home Theatre PCs (HTPC) and media centres, is available for testing: "It has already been one month since 2.0-alpha1 release so here is alpha2. This release fixes many bugs that have been encountered by our users on this first 2.x series preview: normalize LIRC configuration by providing generic binding for each and every remote control; initial port to ARM architecture; restoration of UPnP/DLNA feature with a brand new stack; restoration of internationalization support; upgrade of NVIDIA drivers - proprietary, legacy one and addition of nouveau; add Kernel Mode Settings (KMS) for ATI, Intel and NVIDIA drivers; upgrade to Linux kernel 2.6.33 kernel; fix live CD and win32 installers; fix OGG files playback issue...."
