    I'm stumped. I want to set up media streaming, primarily to my Xbox 360. I use Windows 7.

    I allowed streaming in the Network and Sharing Center, and allowed my Xbox to have access to my computer. But for some reason my Xbox keeps saying "No music found", and I have like 500 songs in my media player library. UGH, Windows y u no easy. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

    Edit: UGGGH, never mind I figured it out... I forgot to enable the stupid Homegroup thing. Heh...

    OH! OH!
    Um.
    Music, I had to put whatever music I wanted into the "Sample Music" folder, it wouldn't pick anything else up except what was in that folder.

    That's an idea. Though which distro to get?

    Ubuntu is too mainstream, Linux Mint is too shiny, Debian has a slow release schedule, Arch Linux's install procedure is hell on Earth, Fedora is too Gnome 3-ish, etc.

    Hm...

    I gave up on Linux when I had to start tapping in code just to install flash player. No doubt it's a great, stable system, but user friendly it is not.
