LinuxMCE / App Server Users / Some general questions

Yes, we've seen misterhouse, and it would be nice to find a way to make our products work together. misterhouse has been around a while and seems to have matured well. Our projects are different--misterhouse targets techies, and Pluto's ultimate intention is to offer a mainstream consumer product. Also misterhouse focuses on the home automation aspect, while Pluto is intended to be a whole house solution with media, telecom, etc. too.
We're not familiar enough with misterhouse, though, to know how to get it's home automation features to work with our product (or vice-versa). Our DCE library has not been ported to perl--it's C++. However, it should be possible to make it work with perl, and then both systems would be able to communicate together. When we get caught up on our coding we will look into it. Hi, let me comment a little bit. Misterhouse is really more than home automation system (mine plays 4 independent stereo channels, announce things, does motion detection, gets all kind of news, weather forecasts,I can even correspond with it (great AI tehcnology), in near future system will also get own robot to move through house). I really think that MH could be great backend system to complement features of Pluto. Pluto is great GUI (among other things of course), MH can help filling that GUI with all kind of content - and writting module for MH is quite easy (in Perl). I'm willing to help on MH side, but would like to get some help on Pluto side. I don't know much about it, but if MH could connect through socket to Pluto (is DCE router the main crossroad for messages?) and get all messages from Pluto system then it could also send messages and corespond with DCE devices and initiate some actions (reminders, etc..) ? I'd kindly aks if you can point me to more info on socket connection and protocol of messages in Pluto system. In this way I could start contributing. Also short question: - how do you estimate dificulties if Pluto is used on another Linux distros - or how strong Pluto depends on Debian ? Regards, Robert.

Hi, I'm not sure if I may post general questions to this forum. I didn't find suitable forum for general discussion. I have following newbie questions: - where can I read PLUTO license ? - I cannot complete custom installation procedure. After first screen I get error : Fatal error: mysql error: [1146: Table 'pluto_main.USER' doesn't exist] in EXECUTE("UPDATE USER SET FK_Installation_Main=65 WHERE PK_User=33174") in /var/www/virtual/plutohome.com/plutohome/include/adodb/adodb-errorhandler.inc.php on line 77 - I'm using another great open source application ( www.misterhouse.com) that could do role of backend in this system with lots new features. I'd like to connect to Pluto system and get/send every possible message with Perl code. I guess that could be done writting data client, but any advice would be welcome. - I've tried to post to Symbian Orbiter group but can't display message, although it's shown in mai screen. Anyway, what mobile phones can be used with Pluto (please name the brand the type - from pictures I guess one of them is NOKIA, but what type ? ) Thanks in advance, Robert.

LinuxMCE / App Server Users / Bootable CD

If you install Debian Sarge manually, you don't need to use the Kick start cd. The CD is really just the Debian Sarge installer that then calls our own install script. You can install Debian yourself, and then in step 7 of the wizard, choose to download the auto install script, and then run it.

Hi,
My system does not have the capability to boot from a bootable CD. Would I be able to achieve the same installation with the rawrite tools and the boot floppy images?
