Understood but in my situation 'here' is all there is to 'here' and unless
we're talking networked handhelds, 16 computers aren't going to fit in here
without me losing all my living space.

 RJT> Add one "server" to the mix here.

Right.  Good plan.  Right now my so-called workstation and router act
together as my 'server'.  These two boxes have an ongoing identity crisis. 
Once I get the wiring finished and the batteries online the pc/104 jobber
will become the fulltime router/firewall and that will liberate the C3
jobber as the networked audio/visual streaming server, or at least that is
the current plan.  I think my workstation will always be confused about
it's role.

For sure.  I'll let you know but offhand I think the gstreamer libs might
be what is required to push this box in the right direction.  As far as
little TV connected boxes I am still not sure what I am going to do there
but have some ideas to keep it affordable yet desirable.  Forget recording
as that is where the resources are going to have to go through the roof but
for playing I'd like to see how little can be gotten away with while
keeping quality maximized.

 RJT> Fun stuff we can do with these machines,  eh?  :-)

No doubt about that here.

Life is good,
Maurice
