I used to have a fairly well working setup of LinuxMCE 710 until my wife got the shits with it and forced me to change it. Now that I don't have a wife I'm attempting to bring it back to its former glory using 810 (Components marked as "Out of Order" are sections I am yet to re-implement and may contain incomplete component lists)

Changes from Previous Setup

Am only using a single NIC this time with DHCP only for devices in Pluto Database. This method disables automatic setup of Diskless MD's but its not too much of a hassle to add an entry in the Media Directors sections of the web admin before booting.
Now using a Hybrid Core in the living room instead of a seperate core and MD.
