I'm planning on doing this but net booting it and mounting filesystems via NFS. That way I can deploy a flock of them all over the house, totally noiseless (get the case with the fanless external wallbrick: http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/2688R/) and never have to install SW more than once (on the server). Stereo, TV room, kitchen, bedroom... (I have a Sun IPX in my kitchen I'm netbooting NetBSD off my FreeBSD machine; only noise is the P/S fan and it's pretty nice, but slow) The upcoming EPIA M series is designed for audio/video so would do well in stereo / home theater settings. I think my S.O. will draw the line at the bathroom door :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
