[TriLUG] linux media server

[John Turner]

That is a nice goal, but I might suggest you use one of the following  
units.

TVIX http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/
Mediagate http://www.mediagate.co.kr/

There are some others also.  Some of the newer models have network  
ports, the older models just appear as a USB drive to the PC (like an  
iPod).

Either way you still need to rip/capture your media content then push  
it onto the external device which has an internal hard drive. You can  
even use it in the car while on the trip.
