While Front row 1.x was requiring users to own a Mac shipped/equipped with a remote control, this is not the case anymore with Front Row 2.0. The new version shipping with Leopard can be used on any Mac following the hardware specification required for Leopard. A Mac Pro, iMac G4 or PB G4 can finally be used as an Apple media center.
To manage functions in Front Row, you can use either the keyboard, or the Apple remote control, a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone or even a third-party IR receiver/remote.
