I think this means it will work
im not too sure though

First of all it should support PXE to boot from the tftp server.

So that should mean I can Use a tiny mac mini as a media detector
thx rob

Not to sound mean, but if you know nothing about linux then this is NOT the software for you.  Even if you do know linux, I'd still say this is not the software for you.  Please see all the other comments about how much a nightmare this software is.

If this software is such a nightmare why do you post on all the forums?

I have been reading around and found this:

Boot key combinations:
N : Netboot (New World ROM machines only) - Looks for BOOTP or TFTP Server on the network to boot from.

Do you know if there will be a bootp or tftp server on my network?
if so then this should be what I'm looking for right?
ps I got that quote from

What I also wanted to know is sether if I install linux mce on both machines, will they still share things?
I was under the impression they didn't.
if they did could i install onto an external hard drive and tell the mac to always boot off that?

1                       ok i have planned to use lmce as the os of my future media centre, and understand most things put have had an idea of how to use the mac mini I have upstairs by using it as a client computer, is this possible?
I don't know The specks of the pc I plan to put downstairs but this would be the only pc with lmce on.
2                       I also wanted to know if I could share the content on my windows pcs with the oher two?
please write back as soon as poss.
I know nithing about linux or much else so please be as clear as you can

thx
