to install apps just sudo apt-get install, no?

la Fonera from the FON Wlan community has an integrated bittorrent client, they were giving away these boxes for free here in germany

no dude, the autodiscovery thing doesnt work for local partitions here as well...

thats a hell lot of energy, my notebook running complete inc. screen takes 20W, i dont mind a the energy level during playback, just wondering how to reduce the idle one, its like having a lightbulb glowing day and night all the time ..

When a have one of these full enterprise grade servers running 24/7h as core, what will the energy consumption be ? Will the go to a low energy standby, or is it possible to use linuxbios which should boot in 3 secs to console + wakeonlan with some sort of lan-remote to turn it on ?

Any Energy saving ideas around ?

Greetings

that might be worth a try, so a single time lmce showed both devices in the list, so i could only use one

for the moment i simply unplugged the cd drive, and wow, the dvd drive actually plays a dvd ... but if i select a chapter or skip a scene, it suddenly stops the movie and returns to the main menu, but this time i have no errors in the xine log..

I have a DVD RAM on cdrom0 and a CD Drive at cdrom1, they will never work together, either the one is detected, or the other one, they will only play an AudioCD (and also copy it), but if I skip to the next song, the device dies.

For DVD movies I get the message DISK inserted (if the dvd drive is the one working at the moment) and LinuxMCE then tries to play it, the whole screen flashes blue for a second, and goes back to the Main Menu. The funny part is, in Kubuntu I have both drives, the both play music and DVDs with no problem, they only die in LinuxMCE, here is the XINE log:
