I'm back. This is not the first time I've used this forum, last time was Ubuntu 16.04, No upgrading to 18.04 and rebuilding my multi server which is used for a lot of things including media. I have noticed that the main pages have not been updated since I was last here (from 16 to 18) I hopoe it sti...

I've been on this forum for a few years and always done this build on Ubuntu, Now I'm gong to see if I have problems with it on Mint. I don't really expect any since both Ubuntu and Mint are Deb kernels but oyu never know. Any input would be appreciated. The main reason for usng Mint is better use o...

My RPi is on the way. I wanna do the media server too.

This is a cool build but the way it has to be setup for myself is a bit different. Hardware: 1 i386 desktop core duo 3 ghz CPU, 2gb ram, ethernet card, ATI Radeon 9600 video, SB Live and lots of drives of different sizes some set to LVM.
