[Ubuntu] Media Center

alx — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 22:28:58 +0000

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.
