Project: Ubuntu 9.04 w/MediaTomb - 05/09/09 08:46 AM
Well, I'm finally getting to putting Linux back on the HTPC, and it seems MediaTomb has come a ways since I first looked it up (it actually has on the fly transcoding now!)...
Only problem is, for some reason the Ubuntu install croaks via svideo so I have to put a monitor on it for the install :sad:...
It'll have to wait till later this weekend at the earliest (as I'm sick this weekend) but we'll see how it goes...
And yeh, it was a pain in the [censored] to backup 1tb of data over the house lol... But luckily I have about 3.5tb of disks over various systems of mine... I really need to eventually make some sort of data server (6x 1.5tb hd's in a raid0 array would be ideal (up to 10 if I went with the ASUS P5Q Premium mobo)) but funds will be lacking for such projects for some time...
