[ale] suggestions for setting up a home mp3 jukebox system with a Web Interface

[Van Loggins]

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I posted but I wanted to see if anyone has any
suggestions on doing this.

Here is my machine specs

Compaq Ipaq Workstation (one of the ones which uses the notebook optical
drives)

Pentium III 500 MHz
512 Megs Ram
120 GB hard drive Partitioned with 20 gigs allocated for the / partition, 2
Gigs allocated for Swap, and the remaining amount partitioned as a Fat32
partition mounted as /dos
Integrated Intel 810 video card
Integrated AC97 Sound Card

The system has built-in speakers so I don't have to hook up any speakers, I
may use a patch cable and hook it to my home stereo later on.


I am very open on which Linux Distribution I run on this system, I basically
want to set the system up as a headless Unit and I want to be able to
control it though a web interface so I can go to any other computer on my
home network and logt into it from a web browser and adjust the playlist,
start the playback or stop the playback,etc.

I am currently looking at using amarok with a mysql backend and the
amarok-web package which is available from sourceforge

Are there any prepackaged distros available which will make this easier to
set up?


Thanks in advance,

Van Loggins
