After many years of development, the GeeXboX team proudly announced a couple of days ago, September 17th, the immediate availability for download of the final and stable release of GeeXboX 2.0, the perfect MediaCenter distribution for HTPCs.

GeeXboX 2.0 is now available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures (see download link at the end of the article), but it also adds support for the ARM TI OMAP4 Pandaboard and the ARM nVidia Tegra2 Harmony platforms.

Dubbed Love It or Shove It, GeeXboX 2.0 boasts quite a few exciting new features. It is now powered by the popular XBMC Media Center, as the default frontend.

When I boot GeexBox from the CD, the drive door is locked, and the boot medium won't eject. I have a system w/ 4G of RAM, so once the system presents the main menu, the boot medium isn't needed, but the refusal to eject means I can't play any DVD's.

The "play"-like button in the lower left has an "Eject" option, but clicking it does no good.

Final rating: needs work.

Does GeeXboX advertise itself as a distro that can load fully into memory and no longer need the live disc to work after boot?

Okay, you got me on that one. The previous version did, and it's surprising that this version does not.

However, even after booting from USB, it doesn't recognize my PATA DVD drive.

This ain't good.
