It would probably be easier as well, as there would be no need to interface
with the existing servers...
My pet project though, is one of these for each main room:
Hardware:
Via Eden 5000 Mobo
64/128mb Memory
Case (or DC PSU, Loudspeaker and Home made case)
Phillips Toucam USB Pro Camera
Cost of above £150 to £200 ?
Optional: In-case Amplifier
Optional: Wireless Lan / PC Riser Card
OS:
Linux Boot from NFS Partition
Free Software to Achieve:
Web/Ftp Server
Webcam Video Capture
Webcam Video/Audio Streaming
MP3 Playback from JREC/Rio Original Software
Shoutcast Playback
Announcements via built-in speaker/External Speakers
All xPL Controlled... of course
Maybe:
Video streaming to local tv from ripped source server/Tivo
I've gathered the test hardware, just waiting for a slim-line dvd to arrive
(another optional extra) so I can load linux onto a temporary harddrive.
Figured it would be best to use a local harddrive for testing/development
and then create an image for nfs?
Regards
Tony
