I recently moved (~65mi). I have all my files on my Linux Server at home. I want to find a way to have 2 Ubuntu Workstations (at my office/apartment) and Laptop to all be able to stream my media from my home server. (The server get about 600kbps upstream).

Accessing the files I found OpenVPN and NFS to work great - however streaming my videos hasn't been so good - its extremely choppy and unwatchable. I realize there is no perfect solution, but is there anything that could be setup to buffer/prefetch/compress videos making them tolerable to watch?

You can try using a streaming server such as Darwin. http://dss.macosforge.org/

I wasn't aware of this specifically but I wanted to avoid a dedicated streaming server solution - I was looking for a more seamless, like gstreamer. – NFicano Jan 28 '11 at 15:43
