This weekend, we build a media center to share a 500Go disk on the network (+150Go internal drive), using Ubuntu 7.10 and various open-source software.
Here is a list of them, and some links to ease their uses.
- Wordpress: to keep information about different login/password, configuration and link to each tool.
- Torrentflux: a php bittorrent client, so anybody on the network can add torrent in it, and we can easily control the bandwith consumption.
- MythTv: with all our media library in one place, anybody on the network can launch MythTv and access categorised movies/music
- Network File System
Any advice, tools to add to this configuration? Might be really great to use the NFS as a TimeMachine, and easily back all our important data this way.
