Media server TODOs

I want to install Hamachi on the server so I can log into it from anywhere and do any streaming/remote administration that suits my fancy at the time. In order to do that I have to recompile my kernel to add TUN support to my laptop. No big deal. I'm emerging the source to my VM now, so I can start compiling at lunch. Once I do that, installing Hamachi should be no big deal.

I've done a lot of configuring/installing/tweaking of this server, so I need to get a stage4 backup of this server immediately!

I also want to get another hard drive. The one I'm using right now is several years old, and I don't want to wait until it dies and I lose all of my music/movies.

Media server updates

Media server is going well. I have been able to now upload my music into it now, and have been constantly updating its software. Jinzora didn't work too well (took too long to load anything,) and after some quick google searching, I found another app I could use: ampache. Nice part about this is that it was in portage, and after an update of a few other packages it installed well. I'm really impressed with the fact that even though ampache depends on mysql it runs very smoothly on a Pentium II with 128MB RAM. After setting up the database I was able to add all my music and movies in no time.
