GeeXboX是一份免费和开源的多媒体中心Linux发行，它面向嵌入式设备和桌面计算机。它是一份功能完整的操作系统，可以从自启动运行光盘、优盘、 SD或MMC卡引导，也可以安装到寻常的硬盘上。GeeXboX是轻量级发行，它的设计宗旨很单纯：将所有主要的多媒体应用集成起来，以将任何计算机转变为一个家庭影院。GeeXboX项目组是成立于2002年的非商业性组织。
GeeXboX is a free and Open Source Media-Center purposed Linux distribution for embedded devices and desktop computers. GeeXboX is not an application, it’s a full-featured OS, that one can boot as a LiveCD, from a USB key, an SD/MMC card or install on its regular HDD. The GeeXboX distribution is lightweight and designed for one single goal: embed all major multimedia applications as to turn your computer into an HTPC. GeeXboX runs on x86, PowerPC and ARM devices.

Some features however have vanished. among them, one can note that support for DVB Digital TV cards has been removed (but will come back shortly), support for V4L Analog TV cards has been deprecated (this time dead once for all), GeeXboX unique ISO generator also has perished (not that useful anymore), as well as legacy HDD installation (which has been superseded Live USB support with persistent data storage).
GeeXboX for PCs still is provided as a directly burnable ISO image though it is much more common these days to use it as a Live USB distribution instead of a Live CD one. We extended this feature with a persistent user data storage capability that allows you to keep your configuration, media database, downloaded media covers, lyrics … among reboots. No configuration is needed and everything can be done quite easily through Unetbootin.
