| 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 third release candidate of GeeXboX 1.1, a bootable Linux-based media player, is now ready for testing: "GeeXboX 1.1-rc3 released, happy testing. Major changes and enhancements have been performed since 1.1-rc2 and many bugs have been fixed. The most significant change is the MPlayer upgrade which now comes with many new options and has various decoding speed-up improvements. It is now up to you to test this new release again, which should be the last release candidate before 1.1 final. Another important addition are the new internationalization files. If you intend to translate GeeXboX into your mother tongue, it is time to do so." Read the release announcement and changelog for further information.
