I know some of these are done in a Linux Gui. I am trying to make a nice user interface for my kitchen PC. The user portal I am trying to get is something like
Currently I have a Via C3 933, but I do not think it has enough horsepower. Even Ubuntu is fairly slow. I just ordered a ion board and prob will pick it up later this week, so that will give me more than enough horsepower for that.
So what is the best platform/OS/aftermarket addition to create something like this?
You did ask for ideas on a 'user portal' and linked in a touchscreen system. And you did ask what was the best platform to create something like that.
You want to start over and be more clear about what it is you really want?
I agee. Linking to a touch-screen system would make most people think you were looking to build a similar system. Those HP's use Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with the multi-touch drivers enabled.
I guess I confused to many people. I though the title of this thread was pretty self explainaitory. I was asking what operating system could duplicated the user interface from the HP system. I know it is running on Vista and I know some Linux distro does similar but not exact.
When I say user interface, I was referring to smooth shifting icons. Sort of like on HTPC systems (meedio, mediaportal, MCE, etc) but without all the HTPC stuff.
