Media Server: VortexBox Turns Your Old Computer into a Music Server

Media Server: VortexBox Turns Your Old Computer into a Music Server

So I've been debating getting a little more techy with the blog, and as of right now I've decided to integrate a mixture of more advanced tech stuff and some less technical posts. This blog post is all about a Linux-based Media Server Operating System. It can be a great weekend project for an old PC and a little bit of techy know-how(or a good techy friend via the phone). Either way, this operating system could be a great way to recycle an old PC and still get something useful out of the deal.

Installation is nice and simple. Just download the .ISO file(this is a standard file type used by CD and DVD recording programs like Nero for burning to CDs and DVDs) and then burn it to a CD. Pop the CD into the PC to be server-ized and follow the onscreen instructions. Easy as that.

If you have any questions or problems, email me at lgconnection@gmail.com.
