系统GeeXboX 1.2.2发布

        GeeXboX是一份完整的操作系统，它运行Linux内核并基于出色的软件MPlayer。它不需要硬盘，你只要把GeeXboX可启动光盘插入任何一台奔腾级计算机的光驱就能引导之。此外，GeeXboX是自由的软件，它的诞生要感谢许许多多的开源软件。这意味着任何人都可以修改它并且创建他自己的GeeXboX发布。你可能会奇怪，为什么要选择引导进另外一种操作系统以播放你的媒体文件呢？但是，请想像一下那些Mini-ITX平台，例如VIA Epia/Eden或者Shuttle barebones吧。现在可以把DivX带进你的家庭影院，把这类计算机变成你的电视机。在首个开发版本释出时（2002年十二月），它还只能播放DivX电影，但现在，几乎所有的媒体文件都能在GeeXboX里播放了。

        GeeXboX 1.2.2, a standalone, Linux-based media player, has been released: "GeeXboX 1.2.2 - feature enhancement release. With a few interesting patches recently having been committed to 2.0 development tree, people on the forum asked for backport of these to the stable 1.2 release. So did we, adding a new key feature, with multi-threaded video decoding support. Non-IT people can see this as a way to finally make use of their brand-new multi-core CPU systems providing parallelized treatment. And the results are pretty good, with a 1.8x video decoding speed boost on Core 2 Duo and 3.0x speed-up with Core 2 Quad. It is now truly possible to actually decode 1080p HDTV streams on Linux."
