Knoppix as a multimedia server?

[aay]

I got an extra box, so I installed Knoppix 3.3 on it.

I want to set it up as a multimedia server, and have no keyboard, mouse, or crt to it. Basically play ogg/mp3s thru my home stereo via another computer.

Could anyone recommend like a desktop emulator to do this under Linux?

thanks

I used to have a setup like this. I would ssh into the media box and play tunes via mp3blaster (you can apt-get it). Mp3blaster is a very cool ncurses mp3/ogg player. Of course if you can ssh into it and it is a reasonably fast box, you could also run a gui app like rhythmbox (which is a great multimedia jukebox). Another option is running something like Zina or Netjuke. That way you could access the media box from any machine on your network with a browser. You can find Zina and Netjuke at the following pages.
