it will require tasks to be passed on to be executed somewhere else yes thats the hard part.
But this way you dont need fan's and its low power but i guess a pc is just a simple way of doing it.

Just want to know what you all think about a core build to run linuxmce.
I am thinking allot about this something modulair, small, simple and cheap.
And how strong this would be. Is 1ghz enough for a core?

The basic idea is something simple like 1ghz and if you need extra power you can add a module to the core.
Ram and space is something else, same thing but how much?

Good, bad? what do you all think?

yeah, i noticed

Just wanna know what people think about moving lmce up with Ubuntu every time.
Isnt this a pain? trying to get the same things working over and over again on a new version.
Sure linux beats the crap out of windows, but i think it might be nice to have a stable base like a embedded linux or something no?

But why is this important?

Because you dont want 5 communication devices on the core.

Wifi and ethernet are good for data transmission yes, but there will be things like switching lights i can use radio for that but again you dont want 5 communication devices on the core.

i know, i thinking about stuff like that too. But im trying to find something that can handle some data, and is easy to install, like wireless, thats why i came up with powerline btw, or can make multible versions with other communication.
Im also looking for ideas to build, like modules to switch lights and stuff if you have any suggestions you can post them here.

You guys think that wifi is good for communication between devices?

Seems like you know a thing or two

so wireless? or what do you think?

The idea: using powerlines to send data to the devices lights for example, thats pretty simple, it tought this was the best solution because you need power everywhere anyway, so i started thinking why use it just for that?
Why not use it for multimedia too? looking into that now, the bigest problem is bandwidth as they only go until 500Mbit at the moment. still looking into that anyway.
Also i have a 3D printer so afterwords i can cover it up a bit.

allready did that some time ago, my c++ is way outdated but i will have to focus on the hardware itself first anyway.
Maybe someone can help me out with software later on.
I was thinking of creating a modular system, so it would be only one type of device (software) and in hardware you can turn it in to anything, like a base with sensor, or base with switch or with relay for switching anythingthe base if for communicating and recives the commands from linuxmce.
what you make of it you can just click on the base (example).

what do you think? suggestions?

hardware as in for example communication between core and devices, instead of using hardware from zwave or knx using hardware designed for linuxmce.

hi, im using/watching linuxmce for years, now i got a bit bored so i started thinking about developing linuxmce hardware, good idea? any suggestions?

simple question, how can i get a settopbox to work on linuxmce?, is that even possible?

found this: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=1308.0
but its still weird you cant get them from the snapshot version, a bug i asume?
