Media Server, for Home Entertainment Networks, with a good user interface

Registered by Krishna Sankar

As we all know, one of the next pragmatic frontiers is networked entertainment. The home media server will be the cornerstone in a home network. There are no easy solutions.
This is an opportunity for any distro to offer a solution for the home user - a simple, easy to use home media server with appropriate simple interfaces that capture the essential mechanics and mechanisms.
But make sure we make it simple but not simpler i.e. capture the essential complexities and offer an easy solution to achieve them. For example backup is essential, so we need to provide ways for full backup, incremental backup, tag and label the media, tag and warn when backups are not done et al.
Note : I know that there are other specification in Ubuntu that have synergy. I will hunt them ;o) and include the URLs
