I'll try some of the existing xpl stuff when I get a chance

My current ha server is a via 5000 fanless mobo (totally silent apart from
hdd), but too slow when I want to stream mp3 to multiple devices. So that's
going to be upgraded soon...
I have a faster via mobo I might try, but that's earmarked for the car, so
maybe not.

My spare via 5000 mobo's are going to be for my diskless linux project, so
serial hardware is independent of main/backup servers.

So I guess I see the xbox as an extension of node 0, that will be in the
lounge.
If it'll run xplhal then it may act as a back up to the main server...

Then again I might of wasted a load of money! But what the hell, it's worth
a try.

Tony
