Boxee is a fantastic media center application and rocks wonderfully well with Linux. We wrote about how to install Boxee on Lucid Lynx. What’s interesting is that the new version of Boxee plays wonderfully well as a almost full fledged social media center integrating services like facebook, twitter, buzz, digg and flickr.

Also, it has some amazing apps and channels like ted.com. You can also add your personal feeds.
