Yes, thank you for the concern on being OT but so far I think we're spot-on! Any issue<BR>
that relates to being able to get it to work is relevant in my sight -- and helps answer the<BR>
question that I first posed. <BR>
<BR>
I will grant you, though, there has been hi-jacked/OT stuff that I'd rather seen marked as<BR>
such for purposes of filtering. Most often I prefer not to get into the OT stuff...but that's<BR>
just me...<BR>
<BR>
Still open ears on this topic though...<BR>
<BR>
I had been thinking of trying this via KVM/Redhat or Ubuntu...I've got nothing more than<BR>
a server to work with an bits-n-pieces to build it. I'm really short on time lately but getting <BR>
closer to actually building a working test-bed. <BR>

Note that the op specifically mentioned the possibility of using a vm.
Fix the sound issue on the vm and we possibly have a way to run netflix
on a linux host.
Thank you for your concern, however.
Regards,
William
