Users / Minimal HW re-visited
« on: December 03, 2009, 03:46:31 pm »
Hi All,

Almost two years ego (gee! time flies!), I posted a question here about lightweight computers (or thin clients) and LinuxMCE. I was then answered that (with the HW that was available then) they will not be of much use. However, since then  there has been quite a revolution in the area of lightweight computers. So I am asking again: How about Nvidia ION based computers? will they do as Core, MDs, or Hybrids (and which of these?), I would also like to know what do you think about the TI beagleboard as an orbiter?

Also, in the replies to my old post, I was advised not to use wireless LAN for my LinuxMCE network. Is this still the recommendation (that is to use wireline ?) Or with the stronger and faster Wireless cards that are now available, you do approve of wireless?


Thanks!

Oren

Users / Some very initial / infrastructure related questions
« on: June 21, 2008, 08:33:14 am »
Hi All,

I bought a new apartment in a building that is now under construction, and when I move in, I plan to put in an MCE system.

I was very excited to learn about LinuxMCE, it seem to be exactly what I had in mind.

In any case, since I am going to move in only about 2 years from now, I guess it is too early to get into the details. I do have two infrastructure questions:

1. Will LinuxMCE work good over wireless lan? More specifically will I be able to watch TV and videos on clients if  the stream comes from the server trough WiFi, or do i need a 100BT wireline infrastructure?

2. Can I use thin clients like http://www.thinlinx.com/ or http://www.chippc.com/ for clients? (and if they are not supported at present, do you know if they or on the roadmap for the next year or so?)

Thanks in advance,

Oren
