Ubuntu-US-NM Mythbuntu 7.10 Released

[Ubuntu US-New Mexico Team]

I believe so.  One of the issues that I've tried avoid with my setup was
noise, and heat, from a PC while I watch or listen to my media.  The
only inexpensive way I found was not to have a PC near my A/V equipment.
I'm a bit of an Audiophile so any noise that impedes full audio
immersion would drive me crazy...crazier. =)

I opted to go with a Buffalo Linktheater..

...and stream my media from my MythTV/Home Media Server using Wizd.

If you do pick one do not use the on board wireless it's junk.  

To share the media to the BLT via Wizd is easy is just a matter of point
it to your media...here's section of my Wizd conf file.

alias           DVD             /media/dvd
moviealias      Movies          /media/movies
alias           TV_XVID         /media/tv
alias           TV_RAW          /media/raw_tv
musicalias      Music           /home/music
photoalias      Photos          /media/photos

Also the BTL support USB connections so you could connect a USB drive to
it for play back.  Mind you the USB drive has to be formatted as FAT32.
