Building a Linux Home Media Center

My digital media is stored on a home Linux server. Most of the digital media players available today do not support protocols to connect to a Linux server, which make them unsuitable for my use. I realized the best way to connect my digital media library with my home theatre was to build my own Linux home media center (LHMC).'"

    Forget about 'Open-Source' (or 'Open-Sores', as my coworkers like to call it) DVR implementations.

    They are unstable, difficult to install, and just a plain waste of time.

    Read why "Windows XP Mediac Center Edition is King."
