<div>It's "out of the box" if you get the EXACT system (computer, remote, TV, ip addresses, router, kitchen blender, etc...) this guy has. ;-)</div>

<div>Still, it's pretty impressive and I'm going to have to take a closer look at that software for sure.<br> </div>

freaking cool. It is an open source commercial home automation suite,
which uses MythTV as the media player. It doesn't use all of MythTV's
plugins, but the software is awesome, and open source. I've installed
it a couple times, it's built on Debian, and it really is insert the CD
and everything is installed for you, on 90% of hardware. I did have one box that it wouldn't install on right away though. I don't actually use it, because if I did I know I would want to spend every dime I make on home automation hardware and wouldn't stop until I could turn on my washing machine from Pakistan... So I still only use MythTV, which I still think is actually better than WMC.
