[TriLUG] linux media server

[Josh Vickery]

I use an xbox running freevo on Xebian as an A/V jukebox hooked up to
my tv.  Playback is not so fancy and I don't use it for ripping, but
it works well, I like it, and my girlfriend has no trouble playing
movings and music.  I added a webserver and a web based playlist
editor, which she uses to make playlists from her computer, which, I
think, it much easier than trying to do it with a remote.
