Plone can be quite resource hungry which is where my concerns lie, not within the linux

Ideally I wouldnt want to run a VM but have MCE running in parralel with Plone

and IF im not mistaken MCE has a web interface to it (?) and if that is the case, then just switch it so that Plone runs on port 80 and MCE on some other known port.

unless anyone knows of a simple DLNA server i can run under a vanilla linux that supports at a minimum

AVI, MKV, MOV and DIVX file types?

hi steve
unfortunately it's not going to be that powerful to start with (just moved into the house and mid furnishing it etc, etc) so is just my parents old windows XP machine with im going to completely overhaul and whack Plone onto it.

I realise it will likely struggle with Plone, but am hoping that as the site will be quite simple I'll be ok (have years of Plone experience) the MCE bit is just a want. so can wait (can stream the films from my laptop i guess) just wanted a more seamless solution

at present though i dont even have internet in the house (Plusnet fitting it on the 21st, after ordering it on the 18th JUNE!!! - not happy!)

I am thinking about installing Linux MCE on my home server, but heres the thing, it's a new server that I want to use to stream films from (on my TV), host my personal website (yet to be developed, would like to use Plone)

What I am asking is, is this possible (do them at the same time)??

I couldnt see from the screenshots how one might get access to the terminal

also i am a bit of a Linux n00b (Software developer by trade, but tend to use doze machines) so installing plone might be an issue

i realise it ships with a version of KDE, which might be fine to dev the site in, but if i set plone up as a service there, will that port over to MCE too?

how can I install the various things like Python, PIL, etc, etc
