Ongoing mediaportal on legacy windows (1 Viewer)

[smiler3k]

Hi everybody ive used media portal on and off for about a year now.

I am setting up a new home streaming media network and have the main pc/server but would like to the earlierst version of windows ie 98/me etc the the latest 0.2.3.0 will run on.

Its for a simple client for my daughters to stream tv and videos from my server, therefore spec will be quite low ie 2400+ athlonXP 256MB ram as the board in question only takes pc133.

Thanks in advance.

if you have an athlon xp at your disposal you should consider running xp and buying some more ram. windows 2000 should also be a good alternative since its using the nt kernel and its functions and drivers (any drivers can be used for both systems) are pretty much equal to xp (that includes compatibility). plus the network management was not written by cracksmoking monkey like the one of 98/me (the oses are pretty much the same anyway). 2000 also needs considerably less ram than xp so 256mb are enough for windows but it could get tight with media portal.
