requirements:

If this interests you then you will need to have the following pieces of equipment handy:

• An old PC, nothing fancy, but it needs a soundcard and a large harddrive would be a plus, a PIII/500 with 512M of ram, a 1024x768 screen and a 20G drive would be a good system to start running this on
• the the Media Exchange CDROM which you should download and burn to a CD as an 'ISO-IMAGE'.

After downloading and burning the ISO, put it in your (old) computer and boot it, follow the instructions and you should have a Media Exchang Appliance in minutes.

credits:

The Media Exchange is 'open source' (all the source code is included on the CD) and it would not have been possible to build it without the thousands of people that have donated their time to the development of Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP, each of which form a major component of the Media Exchange. In particular we would like to thank Gian-Carlo Pascutto, who owns and operates 'foosic.org'.

Enjoy, and if you have questions, bug fixes or improvements please use the forum.

Please note that the Media Exchange is a stand alone piece of software, you can NOT install it on your windows computer (unless you are very handy with vmware, but even then the experience will leave something to be desired), it needs a SEPARATE MACHINE.

Forum

To make it easier for users of the Media Exchange to communicate and to help each other out (as well as to receive feedback), I've set up a forum, there are all kinds of sections there, such as FAQ, tips tricks & howtos as well as bug feedback and installation guides.
