I'm getting ready to start house shopping for my first house, and I am definitely wanting to install LinuxMCE. It seems to have everything I am wanting in a home network / security system (and then some) but I am having a hard time with hardware selection?
Surely there is a list of preferred hardware for a Linux Server running LinuxMCE?
But if there is? I can't find it!!!
I do alot of computer shopping at Pricewatch and NewEgg and it would be REALLY nice if I could scroll through a list of recommended hardware and just search for it, rather than buy and hope. Anyone know of a list or something resembling a list?

Welcome,
The best suggestion at present is to search the Wiki and also this Forum and gather together the information you need - it is available but it just is not 'packaged' up and in a single place.
Look here on the Wiki for starters;
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Hardware (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Hardware)
Then ask a few specific questions here in the Forum and the community will help you.
Once you have completed your research then you could create a Wiki page describing your system and fix this limitation for others following a similar path ;-)
All the best
Andrew
Thanks alot man... I didn't know the Wiki was open for that kinda of entries. That's cool. I'm looking forward to it. I'm still getting approved for the financing on a house, then I have to house shop, but I figured I could start piece-meal buying the components that I want and testing them and getting used to setting them up and stuff before I get to Zero Hour... I want a LinuxMCE setup! It looks bloody fresh!
On a side note? I can't get the video to play?! I want to watch the demo but I can't. Anyone have any ideas?
