The requirements are 64 Megabytes of RAM, a Pentium class cpu (400+ Mhz recommended) or a Mac G3+ (G4+ recommended), an an ALSA compatible sound card, a VESA 2.0 compliant graphics card and a CD or DVD drive. GeeXboX LiveUSB HTPC Linux distro hits v2.0, adds ARM support for multi-core video decoding. It is fully customizable and provides 400+ multimedia packages.
GeeXboX comes with its own multi-architectures toolchain and cross-compilation engine. It is available for regular x86-based and PowerPC-based computers and ARM embedded devices. It provides you a ready-to-be-used, plug-and-play Media Center application that can play any kind of multimedia content (Audio, Videos, Photos ) from any location (CD, DVD, Bluray, HDD, USB, Samba, NFS, UPnP, SHOUTcast ).

It should not have problems with most hardware setups. GeeXboX is a embedded Linux distribution focused on multimedia and video playback. GeeXboX is a free and Open Source Media-Center purposed Linux distribution for embedded devices and desktop computers. The GeeXboX Linux distribution is lightweight and designed for one single goal: embed all major multimedia applications as to. GeeXboX itself is not an application but a complete full-featured fast booting operating-system. It includes Kodi as its media centre software. It's all there, it's tiny and booting really fast. GeeXboX is a free and open source Linux distribution for home theatre PCs. The multimedia files can be loaded and played from various sources such as CD, DVD, HDD, LAN or even Internet. It plays MPEG 1/2/4, Real Media, Windows Media, Ogg and Matroska and audio and network streams. It is a self-bootable Linux distribution based on the excellent Mplayer which assures that it can play (almost) any file that you throw at it. The distribution has a size of 8.9 Megabytes and comes with an unbelievable amount of features. One alternative that I investigated was building a computer for this purpose and I'm almost sure that I would use the Geexbox Linux distribution as the operating system. The Xbox will not last forever and the new Xbox 360 cannot be modified to do the same yet. I'm currently still using my old Microsoft Xbox as my media center and it's working fine so far but I do have thoughts about the future.
