XBMC media center

Submitted by mdiviesti on September 8, 2008 - 12:08am

I have been using XBMC media center for a while on my computer which is hooked up to my entertainment system, I currently have all of my media on an external hard drive though. It would be coold to install XBMC so that I could set everything up on this external drive.

For your convenience, the link to the media center is http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc/

Thanks

Perhaps a portable version of VMWare, Microsoft Virtual Machine, or some other PC/Mac/Linux emulator? That would be awesome, or how about a bootable OS for the USB drive. *stick in drive, reboot, Linux with basic web browser/word processor/etc.*

Qliner hotkeys is an application that allows you to set keys to hotkeys, e.g. if I hit the windows key and a it could open up internet explorer or whatever.

Here is what I thought was a pretty cool idea: perhaps be able to have the hotkeys with you, so like if you hit winkey and W it will open up windirstat portable from your flash drive.

I don't even know if it can be done, but if it can it would be awesome.

Let me know what you think.

SideSlide

SideSlide is an advanced, portable, unobtrusive, dockable, skinnable, instantly accessible, highly configurable Desktop Extension on Steroids!

I have found SideSlide to be very useful on my thumb drive. I keep my regularly used apps and work data on my thumb drive. While I like the portableapps menu, I like icons on the desktop for some things also. SideSlide lets me have a portable desktop that is dockable and will AutoHide to any side of the desktop.
