-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I tried the DSM320, wasn't satisfied with it, since a bunch of my videos didn't work, and I really hated the interface (would like to be able to delete after watching) ... so I returned it. Is there anything I can do with a plain FreeBSD box to accomplish *at least* what the DLink provided? I have a box now that I can plug into my TV (S-Video with Sound Jacks), which is what I was using before ... but, the X display on the TV is terrible, and the interface leaves alot to be desired for my wife, so *she* won't use it ... So ... is there any 'media software' that I can run on FreeBSD that would give her a nice interface to work with (web based, maybe, with her using her laptop for controls from the couch?) ... Basically, I can't be the first one trying to do this ... anyone have any good recommendations to make it as 'user friendly for non-unix users' as possible? Thanks ... - ---- Marc G.
