One of the "to do list" items that keeps coming up is the need to build some sort of file server to house my growing itunes library. (itunes library is growing, in no small part, because I keep recording TV shows and compressing them into iTunes.)
If I'm going to build a machine, I figure I might as well off-load as much functionality to it as I can. (Don't have an old machine lying around). Mainly, my TV recording (from HDHomeRun). Would it be more work / cost more to build a Hackintosh and keep rocking with EyeTV or to build a MythTV Backend and let it serve up both?
Would Linux (in general - probably Ubuntu or one of the Myth+Ubuntu ver) be better suited for the file serving than Hacked OSX?
Would it make a big difference on front-end setup? (Right now, my mini would continue as front-end; Laptop is further down the "to do list")
