[LinuxUsers] Revo Media Center

[John Richmond IV]

I have been looking at putting together an FOSS media center and have
been looking at Mythbuntu with Boxee.  How does that compare to XBMC?

The goal is to cut out my cable tv bill and take advantage on the
internet pipeline I have coming into the house.
