A server running vdr in a kitchen cupboard and a diskless box in the living room. While I'm still using vdr-streamdev for occasionnal http streamings I choosed the networked vdr-xine solution. That solution is easier to set up and more robust. Vdr runs on the server, timers/recordings/timeshifting happen on it. And the box in the living room just acts as a remote display. In fact i'm using freevo but you could just run xine on your diskless box and control vdr thru it. You'll find more informations about the great vdr-xine here: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2005-August/004173.html and informations about the nice network hack here: http://mitglied.lycos.de/peterweber69/xine/xine.htm Considering the capabilities of your PIII 866Mhz+MGA400 to play mpeg2, I can't really tell for sure but i think it will be ok. (last time i was surprised to see my p3 600+gforce mx200 was able to play mpeg2) Bonne chance ! --
