Here's what I would like to do, and I can come up with a 100 different ways to do it, but I don't know enough about my options to make a good selection. This is where your help would be appreciated.
What I want:
A computer to be used to show DVD's and play games on my TV and also act as a LAN for my home as well as the hub for internet access.
What I have to work with:
Realmagic Hollywood Plus, DVD player, Voodoo3500 with TV out, GeForce2 MX200
Is there a DVD software solution within Linux that will cooperate with my video cards. Or is there a Linux driver for the Hollywood Plus that someone knows about? I can always run a Windows window over Linux, but will I have the advanced features from the vid card? Should I give up on Linux (yea right) and run a full Windows OS as my server? Or what haven't I thought of. Thanks in advance.
