Community Virtual Machines

My family's playing around wtih MythTV - my husband's built a kick-ass system on a Gentoo box at home, and now he's built similar machines for my parents and for his mum & stepdad.

My Dad's a world-class geek - really phenomenal - actually, so's my husband, I'm super lucky ... and he's loving his new Myth box and seeing what it can do. One challenge is to allow my mother to stream video from the Myth box given that she's not quite as geeky as the rest of us and is wedded to her Windows laptop.

Dad mentioned he'd done some experimenting with "VMplayer" - I've just looked into it and it looks fantastic. All kinds of possibilities.
