Thats a good suggestion and I have been thinking about doing it. Only problem is I dont have a linux desktop. I run the dreaded Vista 64 Ultimate. I've been thinking of throwing together a linux box tho. Perhaps I will do it tonight or tomorrow. I need to set one up to run homeautomation stuff anyway. I have so many computer components lying around it wouldn't be hard. I probably have like 2-3 decent computers in my house doing nothing, haha.

Should I just throw Ubuntu on it? Or should I grab something like a Debian package (isn't ubuntu based off debian?)

Again I'm a linux n00b so it my be more effort than its worth for me.
