Bummer, it did mention running Fedora.

Andrew/Ron,

What do you think of Vortexbox running on the Raspberry Pi?

Memory is possibly too low (256mb), but the rest looks promising.

BTW, I'm in Denver (I believe you all are in Boulder?) and would be willing to come up there and explore porting all of your forum content and users in to the new forums over beers if that's a route...

Don't really know where to post this and didn't see a contact link, but I have several vendors using my vBulletin forums as their official forum at http://www.homenetworkenabled.com

That's thinking like you and me, I totally agree... :)

Thanks Ron, for your prompt and diligent efforts!

I had just done the command line upgrade to 2.0 via your excellent instructions that day. *After that completed I ran an upgrade in the GUI and found no new packages. *Here is my output that you...

Thanks Ron, the networkwait did not work, but your earlier suggestion of adding "systemctl enable smb.service" as well as the original nmb.service finally did. *Thanks!

Weird, this fix doesn't work, still need to start Samba on every boot.

What's the command to stop the vbplayer from running at boot? *Also, my itunes server shows as unknown on boot.

I had this problem, just ran the GUI upgrade and it said no new packages. *Will run your fix.

Yeah, you are right... I use ours mostly for DVDs and DLNA serving to the TV. *We have a little Synology box that does the Squeezeserver functions, so I don't use my Vortexbox for that. *I think I...
