Linux works just fine, thank you very much!
In the last posting I made a few snide comments about Vista's documented network (un)performance while Vista was playing back something as simple as an MP3. I found a moment this evening to set up an extremely simple experiment where I streamed a movie and played an MP3 at the same time on europa. The movie, ripped earlier this year from a DVD using VLC, was streamed from an Ubuntu 7.04 system (rhea) while the MP3, ripped from my CD of the movie sound track using K3B, was played from a local file.
To run this very simple test I used a second system, rhea, to host the movie. Rhea and europa (running openSuse 10.2) are connected together with a Netgear FS605 five port ethernet switch.
