OpenELEC 1.0 Released

After more than two years of development, OpenELEC 1.0 has been released. OpenELEC is a Linux distribution for home theater PCs, and is based on XBMC. "OpenELEC is an embedded Linux distribution that aims to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) in the same manner as any other device attached to your TV - like a DVD player or Sky box. Turn on your box, and OpenELEC is ready and waiting in less than 10 seconds - as fast as some DVD players. A simple remote control is all you will need. On top of that, one need not worry about updating OpenELEC, as the software will self-update automatically when connected to the Internet and an update is available. Installing OpenELEC takes less than 5 minutes and requires zero Linux experience. After that, one need merely add one's media files and preferred addons, and OpenELEC will 'just work.'"
