Four More Cow Abductions

File Servers:

Still In The Running:

• Annvix
• Centos
• EnGarde
• FreeNAS
• SLAMPP Live CD
• SME Server
• Ubuntu Server

Out:

• Openfiler - Has not been updated in almost a year, not much traffic on support forums

• OpenNA Linux - Could never find the free ISO file, Seems like the company is primarily pushing their paid solutions

• StartCom - Too many RTFM type answers on the support boards

VoIP

Out:

Thisk Server - Lack of documentation and support


Home Theatre Personal Computer

Out of these choices I am leaning toward a MythTV solution based on limited research. This may wind up being a stand alone computer in my living room (front end / back end) or a split with the back end on the home server. and the front end being on the computer in the living room.
