Thanks for that.

I'm not adverse to Linux ;) (my personal website -
http://www.linuxuk.org) and I keep
meaning to do it but I'm always
busy it seems. I've been using a Linux server with ushare streaming to
Xbox360's, basic but does work. The Linux server will hopefully be
replaced with a Icy Box embedded linux NAS this week (NAS4220) meaning
that I have a total of 4 unused PC's to tinker with, a Nokia n800 (I
do a lot of Nokia work), a 15" touch screen and various other bits.

How long does it take to setup the basic configuration, server and 1
orbiter say?
