I appreciate the info. All my servers are linux, the only thing I still use 
windows for is desktop stuff and would love to get rid of it for that, but 
untill I can view all the media I need I (unfornately) will still have a 
windows box around.
Your project is one of the reasons I will eventually be able to do that. So 
maybe if you are lucky some nullsoft employee will produce the specs.
