What is Pluto?
Pluto is the only solution seamlessly combining:
- media & entertainment with a server for music, movies and tv shows, plus a PVR and DVD Player,
- a home automation system to control everything in the home with touch-screen tablet and Bluetooth mobile phone controllers,
- a phone system with video conferencing,
- a security system that feeds you live video on your mobile phone when something happens, and lets you speak to visitors through your stereos, and
- a home PC solution.
A typical Pluto system consists of a Core: one PC acting as a dedicated server and interface to all the sub-components. The Core includes our own plug-and-play back-end so it listens for and auto configures all sorts of devices like network audio players (such as Squeeze Box), IP phones and cameras. The Core automatically exposes a network boot for any other PC's or thin clients you want to use as Media Directors, which you hook up to your TV/Stereo's to use as set top boxes, complete with a media player, PVR, video conferencing, intercom, and a GUI to control everything in the home. All Media Directors work together seamlessly as a total whole-house solution.

Short Howto on Wiki
Creating a new page
To create a new page you don't realy need a wiki-link that points to it, you only need to write this in your location bar:
http://plutohome.com/wiki/index.php/My New Page Name
This way we will not have links pointing to death / unfinished pages.
Categories
Look on the Categories page to see the categories the where allready entered and click on one of the categories to see the documents related to it. If you want to add your document in a existing category or wish to create a new one, add this wiki tag for each category at the end of your page:
[[ Category : First Category Name ]] [[ Category : Second Category Name ]]
Tree like structure using Categories
MediaWiki uses the concept of categories to help you separate information in logical related pages. Sometimes you want to create a tree-like structure to organize that information, this can be done by using the concept of subcategories. To make a category X to act as a subcategory of category Y, just add the wiki tag: [[ Category : Y ]] in the X category description page, this way you will make Y category the parent of X category.
