I wanted to use the best of all the computer parts I had lying around, so that I could finally let go of the rest, by putting together a machine dedicated to playing from my mp3 collection into my stereo. A quick search revealed a number of far more ambitious people building upon a brilliant piece of open source software.

Very nice, but I have an old 13 inch LCD I wanted to put to use, and I was already thinking of using ion or wmii for creating a custom (and locked down) display environment. Looks like this bossogg program might be just the thing, although it looks rather young. Well, if it can compile on Debian without too much effort, I'll take it for a spin.
