VortexBox is an free and open source Linux based media server distribution (operating-system) that is very easy to install, setup, and use on any computer.

If you looking at having a dedicated networked home media server to store all your media in one place VortexBox will do this for you.

There are many other free appliance like Linux distros out there, such as the XBMC Live, that are designed to be media players. However not many are designed specifically to be home media servers. So I wanted a home media server that would make it easy to rip my media and serve it up to all the different type of networked media players I have on my local network.

VortexBox acts as a NAS for storing files on your home network. VortexBox will automatically rip your Audio-CDs to FLAC and MP3 files and then serve them up to any networked media player including XBMC Media Center, Windows Media Player, Logitech Squeezebox Media players, iTunes, etc. VortexBox also has experimental support for ripping DVD-Video movies to the hard drive. The latest version of VortexBox also has a web based BitTorrent client you can install. If you have a computer or server at home that is on all the time anyway then it might well be serving and getting files from the internet.

If you have any questions or comments please respond to this post.

Enjoy VortexBox!
