No I'm not running webmin, it's just the Linux console on the system concerned. Do you know if there's a console equivalent for that feature? It sounds rather useful :) Thanks for the tip Phil.

(though you can have an whole world of pain if you restore a samba password file that doesn't match with your linux users list as I learnt the hard way recently.) My tip of the day - if you were running Webmin on your server - just could just click on 'synchronize unix and samba users' button to rebuild your samba users list from your linux user list.

Regarding your issues with it ... I do agree that the non standard recording format is a problem although it does allow a show to be burned to a DVD. But I wouldn't want a show burned to a DVD with ads on it ... At some point I intend to give some of these ideas a try http://www.hack7mc.com/category/commercial-skip Regarding startup times ... I don't shut mine down - instead using the sleep option. A much quicker start up Regarding the noise of the computer ... I purchased an Antec NSK2480B case which does a pretty good noise cancelling job Regarding the wireless keyboard & mouse? I bought a Shintaro wireless keyboard & trackpad with Media Centre buttons for easy shortcuts. I reckon it works well and it not too bulky.
