I have been using XBMC since the early days on the original XBOX with help from the Splinter Cell mod.

Over the years i have used it in various different configurations such as the Apple TV, Mac, RPi, OpenELEC, Windows and Ubuntu.

Currently i have a pretty solid server and client setup that i would like to share for anyone thats interested.

unRAID by LimeTech
- Network Storage (SAMBA)

Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop
- XBMC 13

- Squid (Proxy)

unRAID hosts all of my files, XBMC scans into the MySQL database through the Squid proxy.

The Squid proxy isn't required but its helpful at speeding up the fetching of posters and other images.
