This one is pretty new, it looks nice.. (perhaps for a mediastreamer)

is the only solution seamlessly combining:
1. media & entertainment with a server for music, movies and tv shows, plus a PVR and DVD Player,
2. a home automation system to control everything in the home with touch-screen tablet and Bluetooth mobile phone controllers,
3. a phone system with video conferencing,
4. a security system that feeds you live video on your mobile phone when something happens, and lets you speak to visitors through your stereos, and
5. a home PC solution.
A typical LinuxMCE system consists of a Core: one PC acting as a dedicated server and interface with all the sub-components. The Core includes our own plug-and-play back-end so it listens for and auto configures all sorts of devices like network audio players (such as Squeeze Box), IP phones and cameras. The Core automatically exposes a network boot for any other PC's or thin clients you want to use as Media Directors, which you hook up to your TV/Stereo's to use as set top boxes, complete with a media player, PVR, video conferencing, intercom, and a GUI to control everything in the home. All Media Directors work together seamlessly as a total whole-house solution.
In addition to the usual infrared remote controls, LinuxMCE includes remote control software that runs on Symbian Bluetooth mobile phones as well as Linux, Windows and Windows CE devices like webpads and pda's. They all feature cover art, interactive maps and floor plans, and let you control any device in the house. The UI is skinnable and multi-language. The mobile phone has a "follow-me" feature so your media and other settings follow you from room to room. It switches from Bluetooth to cel****ar gprs/wap when you leave the house you're always in control.
