    what to do with a headless pc

    hey everyone ^_^

    I got a 2Ghz celeron with 768DDR and it's not doing a whole lot since I have 2 laptops that I do all my work on. Right now I have it setup to be a webserver for my blog (wordpress) and I have about 240gigs left

    so...I was thinking of maybe putting all of my videos and music on it. I know I can put samba on and stream my media. but I was hoping for a web interface or some kind of interface. because I would like to be able to stream my music from outside of my LAN.

    well I hope this was understandable cause i've had a few beers haha


    cheers

    there are heaps avaliable,
    goto freshmeat.net

    you should get more than enough programs to try.

    Maybe the above will do what you want? I'd throw a TV card in it and make it a MythTV box.
