Hi,
I'm new here and have only recently learned about XBMC. Sorry if this question is a repeat.
I have a linux (currently Ubuntu 9.04) machine that stores most of my media files, about 1/2 TB.
I recently bought a small nettop for my living room (ASRock ION-330) and installed Windows 7. I need the win OS cuz this machine will run some games and accessories for my son (e.g. Sims and the eee stick to replace Wii)
Therefore, i'm looking for a way to stream my media (especialy music) from the Linux machine to the Win7 one.
Is this possible with XBMC out of the box? If not, what do i need to do/install to enable streaming between the machines?
I would prefer not to install Linux as a double-boot option on the livingroom machine as this will significantly slow down start-up time which is important to me (ASRock has this nifty "instant-boot" feature that makes Win7 go up in about 7 seconds).
Thanks in edvance,
