Media Center has the following general system requirements under Linux.

We don't require a X server or X hardware support on the machine running MC.

We require this:

  • libX11-6: installed size 1.5 megs

The dependencies for this are:

  • libX11-data: installed size 1.6 megs
  • libxcb1: installed size .2 megs
  • libxau6: installed size .1 megs
  • libxdmcp6: installed size .1 megs
  • libcurl3: installed size .1 megs (likely already there)
  • lame: installed size: 1.2 megs

Total installed X11 size : 4.8 megs For comparison, the current package size for MC (compressed) is 67 megs.

You should be able to run with this minimal setup. The GUI should run over an ssh connection.

Runlevels are dependent on the distro. Mine is runlevel 2. Traditionally in unix runlevel 3 was GUI but the different distro makers have done this in disparate ways. Ubuntu and Debian don't use runlevels to determine whether or not the GUI is in use.

We don't care about what desktop you are using, MC is not using any desktop code nor is it using GTK or KDE. I've run it on XFCE and Gnome. It should run on any desktop. No ideas about NAS's. Don't have a linux based one that I can log into.

I can tell you that the current requirements are:

  • X86 (32 bit)
  • SSE2
  • libc6 >= 2.13
  • libX11-6 >= 2.1.5
  • libcurl3 >= 7.26
  • lame >= 3.99
  • xfonts-75dpi
  • xfonts-100dpi
  • An ALSA device that supports S32_LE

I'd imagine one could run on other distro's (i.e. centos) by unpacking the deb and putting the contents into the right place IF the requirements listed above are met.
