Hehe i was commenting on OP needing a front end, OS wise the use what your comfortable with comment gets my vote.

I use XP pro and just generic file sharing to feed my media box, sure theres better ways but it works.

725270 2008-12-03 07:16:00 There is no "offical" download site / torrent for the Server OS from PCuser - they say on their site its only available through buying the Mag with the DVD.

I can post it if anyone wants the ISO - May ?? consider putting it on my own server, but I will have to check on the usage at the moment.

725271 2008-12-03 07:20:00 All I did was install a Linux distro (in my case Gentoo) and then install My Media Center. Sound (from movies, or mp3s/internet radio) is output from the soundcard to my stereo speakers, video is output to the TV via s-video

I set up a few shortcuts to make it easier for SWMBO (she likes to play movies while Im at work sometimes).
It is also a part of my home network, I use scp for data transferral
