I'm also really interested in using the N810 as a media center remote. As the owner of a projector (not that great, but a great value), I've been spoiled by the Home Theater setup. The ability to use the N810 as a remote to control tv, movies, and music, is one of my many planned uses for the device. Of course, it would have to be simple to use and highly effective making accessing the media a pleasurable experience.

You raise a good point and I will also look into Canola. Certainly if a plugin can be created to serve this purpose, then there's no need to re-invent the wheel (for the nth time). If however, the systems isn't flexible enough to handle this complex control, I would likely write a nice interface to accomplish this.

Haha. No problem. The document is LONG, but I think it concerns itself with configuring the server from the ground up. I'm pretty sure that any modern linux installation would eliminate a great portion of the recommended setup, especially things like kernel config, etc.

YARR!
