Today I did it. I’ve upgraded my system from Intrepid Ibex(8.10) onto Jaunty Jackalope (9.04). My Ubuntu x86_64 installation offered me, as always, a couple of new packages for update, and as I wanted to update, a message box told me, I could do a whole system upgrade onto Jaunty Jackalope.

I’m sure it’s only coincidence that Tob (forum name) released yesterday a new theme for MMS, because also MMS 1.1.0 went final yesterday after ages 
You can download the theme here: http://mms.mymediasystem.net/theme-greensmoke. I’ll create a own page in a couple of days at my MMS project also.

On 8th of March 2009 I’ve was a witness of an historical moment. Anders Rune Jensen released the stable branch of his lightweight Open Source Media Center Solution for Linux: My Media System aka MMS.
After nine release candidates and a development time, that goes beyond the time (>3y) I attend this project, the stable version of MMS hit freshmeat. Continue reading ‘My Media System 1.1.0 final released’
