Media Server Ideas

The idea is to use something like a Raspberry Pi to run a Media Server. To store movies and TV shows on it so that the Family can watch them when they want.

If the same server can be used to process/download Bit Torrents that would be a bonus since it could be used to keep current with TV shows.

Plex

XBMC

XBox Media Center is something that I played with in its early days. Haven't looked at it in quite a while.
