GeeXboX team has released today the 1.0 version, after 3 long years of development: "After more than 3 years of perpetual development, GeeXboX finally reaches its long awaited 1.0 release.

The most noticeable thing probably is the support for DVD menus; this feature that had been requested so many times by so many people and that was unfortunately missing from MPlayer is now part of GeeXboX. Also, a lot of work has been done on the playback of network streams from SHOUTcast WebRadios, WebTVs or even RTP/RTSP streaming so that you should now be able to easily watch any kind of network or broadcasted stream from your GeeXboX media center."

For those of you who don't know yet what GeeXboX is, it is a very small (only 7 MB) Live CD based on the very popular Linux multimedia player, MPlayer. GeeXboX is made for watching movies and viewing photos on your PC, even if you don't have a hard drive. Because is so small, it boots in only a few seconds and after the system has loaded, the CD will automatically eject from the CD-ROM and you can enjoy movies and photos on your PC.

Here are some screenshots of this 1.0 final release:
