Morning Discussion
Even more exciting? That means The Legendary Starfy is closer than ever! June 8!
Lastly does anyone know if brewed coffee can go bad after a few days? No cream or sugar or anything like that in it. I can't decide if I should be lazy or just make a new pot.

Xbox 360 / NAS for streaming:
I'm thinking about putting together a cheap MSI Wind-based system to host video/music for my house. How hard it is to set up media streaming between FreeNAS or some other Linux distro and the 360? Do I just use uShare or is there something better now? Also, can FreeNAS run a torrent client (pref. something with a web interface?)
Thanks for any and all advice!!!-

That's what I do now. I need a file server. I dual-boot my Windows/Linux box, and every time I boot into Linux my wife can't watch TV anymore. Also, I need one central storage place for our music so that we can both listen to it on different PCs, on the stereo, etc.
Again, the main purpose of this is to just be a cheap file server, but as a stop-gap I'll be streaming to the 360 until I build a media center PC for the living room.

I'm starting to see your point- it seems like I might be better off just saving up and building a media center PC, and storing all my media on that. It's not like I would need nightly backups of a ton of music/movies- I could just back up to external drive(s) once a month or so.
Of course, I still have to solve the problem of hosting a shared iTunes library that both a Mac and a PC can access without using dumb streaming, since they use different schemas for paths... nothing is easy! Well, I guess streaming is easy, but it sounds like crap. -
