True, not everybody has the same capabilities of installing and configuring linux as my 11 year old.

This really puts a dent in the soothsayers "Nvidia is finished" predictions.

Blu Ray is a short lived tech anyhows.  HD VOD is where the future is.  It's already too small to be a viable backup solution as well with the advent of multi TB drives.

Even better, wait 20 days and grab openSUSE 11.2

The reason is simple why there are 2 separate program folders as it allows 2 different versions (32-bit and 64-bit) of the same application to be used and installed on the system without mashing them together into one folder.  When this happens you can have a bad mix of 32-bit applications replacing the 64-bit versions and vice versa leaving you without a usable product.

""We are not going to develop a DMI chipset for Intel. We're not investing in that area," said Henry, adding that Nvidia will continue to make chipsets for AMD processors."

 Seems to be some confusion on the AMD side.  So there are a few possible scenarios.  If nvidia wants to continue SLI support on the AMD systems they have to either:

a) continue to create chipsets for AMD procs

b) license the sli capability to AMD like they did with intel chipsets

c) just say screw it and remove sli chipset restrictions from the drivers

Depends on the distro used.  Many of the specialized server distros don't need cli at all to be setup or distros like opensuse that have gui tools like YaST that don't require dropping to cli especially when your talking about a small server like a media server.

Save yourself a bit of money and get that "getting something accomplished" feeling and use one of the many feature laden linux distro's for the ultimate in a home server.
