Body Damage is Cool

If you know what you are doing around linux, Debian running Mediatomb . I'm running such a machine in a school with our entire library of DVDs hosted on it. An old HP DL380 runs the show on a single P3 1.2Ghz CPU.

If none of the above makes any sense to you, can't beat PS3 Media Server for easily hosting a video library on a Windows machine. You won't ever have any codec issues either.

In both cases, running XBMC as the front end looks good and works beautifully.
