[streaming] Dummies guide to streaming DVDs?

I've read the HOW-TO, I've read the FAQ, I've trawled the forums, I've 
even Google - but I /still/ don't understand how to set this up :-(

All I want to do is stream a DVD video over my network, from my 
(headless) Linux server to a single Linux client.  I'd like to be able 
to pause and skip the DVD from my client.  I don't see the need to 
transcode it as I have a 100Mbps link between the two machines.

Should I use VLS to serve it?  Should I use VLC?  Or Apache?  It doesn't 
help that the instructions in the HOW-TO only explain how to start the 
stream, not view it - and the suggested command for doing so using VLC 
doesn't even work! :-(

A step-by-step guide would be much appreciated :-)

TIA,

Jon
