This is what I would like to do but do not know where to start. I have an older Dell (about 6 years old) that currently has windows 7 installed. I would like to take this machine and turn it into a multi media server. I would like to hook up a NAS, run my music through it (mp3 / m4a) movies, display movies if possible, hook it to the net and be able to do normal computing tasks. I am very new to Linux (have been reading the messages here) and I figured that it would be a good idea to have someone help with this. Remembering that I am new to this and do not know where to start and need a simple approach. I have compiled and written code C and C++ in Unix. I played around briefly with Speakup but I lost enters when the machine I was using stopped working (mother board was friend). Now that I have a computer to play with again, I need help setting it up and hardware that I would be able to do this. So let’s start with sound card. It has a Sound Blaster xfy. One network card and two hard drives. It has plenty of processing power. What flavor of Linux would work for this? How do I get started? I do not have hardware speech and would need to use software speech. |
