UMC将采用的核心软件部分Elisa的主页
UMC并不会采用之前那个风风火火现在又销声匿迹的linuxmce，而是采用了还在开发中但非常有前途的elisa。他看中的是开发实力。
What is Ubuntu Media Center ?
Ubuntu Media center is a software making it possible to transform your computer into Media Center. It is appeared as an simple and convivial interface whose function is the reading of multimedia files (pictures, sounds, movies) some is their source (CD, DVD, hard disks, local area network, Internet etc...).
UMC is distributed in two forms :
* In the form of a Live CD based on Ubuntu, it is an operating system ready to use : all is integrated (codecs, containers, pilots, audio and video readers…) and loaded in RAM. Perfect to transform an old PC into true multi-media center, it is possible to install it on the hard disk.
* In the form of a software, which it is possible to install on Ubuntu via apt or Synaptic. It has exactly the same characteristics that the Live CD version, but is rather planned for an occasional use on the computer of the every day. We can launch it manually like any software.
Moreover, Ubuntu Media Center is free.
===============================================================
Elisa is a project to create an open source cross platform media center solution. While our primary development and deployment platform is GNU/Linux and Unix operating systems we also currently support Microsoft Windows and also hope to support MacOSX in the future. Elisa runs on top of the GStreamer multimedia framework and takes full advantage of harware acceleration provided by modern graphic cards by using OpenGL APIs. In addition to personal video recorder functionality (PVR) and Music Jukebox support, Elisa will also interoperate with devices following the DLNA standard like Intel’s ViiV systems.
The core Elisa system is licensed under the GPL version 2. The GPL part of Elisa is also available under a commercial licensing agreement from Fluendo. Elisa core plugins are licensed under the MIT license agreement.
大家可以看一下elisa的视频，相当漂亮而且是3D的。

如果想要尝试一下elisa，可以参照这里，注意源不要弄错了。还有，目前还在开发中，因此，功能并不一定能满足大家的要求，但相信很快就会有更新的。
欢迎小白跟贴。
