All,<br>> <br>> I would like to get my Linux desktop onto my TV. I have a PS3 currently hooked up to my TV for music, video and some games. The browser is very poor on the PS3. Streaming video to the PS3 works quite well using the UPnP media server on my Freenas. I am wondering if it is possible to create a UPnP server that could stream my Linux desktop as a video. I would keep my mouse and keyboard attached to my Linux machine. Does this exist? Thoughts?<br><br>I'm confused. You want to stream your desktop to your TV? As in VNC (remote control), or as in your TV acts like a 2nd monitor on your Linux box?<br><br>Or you want to be able to stream content from your Linux box to your TV (via your FreeNAS)? i.e. Your Linux disks are just another content source to your FreeNAS?<br><br>Is one of these what you're looking for?<br>- video card with 2nd monitor (DVI) out?<br>- <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
