I would love to jump on board with this distribution for my home... I currently run mythtv and love the features but would love some of the addtional features to be added (x10 etc). 

My current networking setup is what is needed and I was wondering if myth can fill that roll.

cable modem --- DDWrt (no wifi) -- switch -- devices --- mythbox doing DHCP/DNS and OpenVpn..
                                                    |__ wifi off of switch
I would Love to have Cable modem linuxmce to the rest of the home, but am concerend about call quality with out QOS being configured on my internal network (my cable modem is at 384x8m).

Is there a simple way to do QOS on LinuxMce?

Well the wiki says

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) to make sure your bandwidth is used effectively (especially important for VoIP)

perhaps I should have asked:

Is the qos simple to navigate and change settings for?

If I want to do a torrent, can i put that at a setting I like and web video at a higher setting?

can I manipulate the QOS settings?

the QoS stuff was removed from LinuxMCE, quite frankly because nobody offered to maintain it. The script is still available as /usr/pluto/bin/qos.pl, and is in src/Bootscripts on the source tree as well. Would you like to take ownership of this, so that LinuxMCE could have this feature again?

it would require making a QoS script that would look at the firewall rules and the device tree for various devices in the database, and construct QoS rules as needed.

We have a device template system, where you can have device data attached to these templates, which could be used to construct QoS rules.

Thom - I'm looking at the script now, is there schema in the db for a device template table which could prioritize each device template's bandwidth so the determination could be made at a device level, or would you see the determination being outside of the tables? If we did it at a device level, would this (or a new script for device QOS) be called upon each device start within the router?

Sounds good. I'm also taking a look at creating a libtorrent dce device, would make it easier to shape the p2p traffic imo.
