Thanks for the Twonky note.  I've found a few other posts mentioning
it now as well.  Guess I'll try the trial.  I'd prefer open source,
but I don't mind buying from someone that produces software for linux.
 I'll likely try uShare too and see how it does re memory consumption.
 The box is pretty limited as it is.
