Just wondering if this sounds possible.....
A PC (small form factor fanless etc) booting from CD or some other
non-hard disc device and able to run xplhal and xplmedianet (plus
maybe some other xpl apps).
Idea being that it would use a NAS, like maybe a buffalo terastation,
to access MP3s and videos etc.
The reasons for doing this is to get away from having a full blown PC
on the network 24/7 and making the whole thing more bulletproof. So if
a problem occurs just reboot the diskless pc and you are back to the
original config.
One of the reasons for doing this is to remove the possibility of
virus/spyware/worm infection so I guess another question is would this
actual protect from this? I guess the shares could still host thes
nasties.
Any thoughts on this?
