GeeXboX is a free Linux distribution that provides a media center software suite for personal computers. Version 2.0 and later uses XBMC for media playback, and the system is delivered as Live USB and Live CD options, so it does not need to be permanently installed to a hard drive, unlike most modern operating systems. Instead, a computer can be booted with the GeeXboX CD when media playback is desired. It is based on the Debian distribution of Linux. The approach suits people who do not need media playback while doing other tasks on the same computer, people who wish to repurpose older computers as media centers, and people looking for a free alternative to Windows XP Media Center Edition. An unofficial port of GeeXboX 1.x also runs on the Wii.
