Folks,
I am trying to determine what the best choices would be for a FRONT END for PowerHome. Please tell me:
1) What FRONT END you use (if any)? Examples would be X-Lobby, custom HTML or PSP pages, none (just the web served control center) etc.
2) Is it on the PH Machine or Remote Machine? I am mostly interested in a remote machine.
3) Comments: browser type EI, Firefox...

I'm currently experimenting with XLobby, on the PH machine but I'm considering moving PH to my second box.
both systems currently:
Windows XP Pro SP2 with IE6
Second system may be changed to Windows Server 2003 (it's used for web hosting locally and development, also has my music collection stored on it.)
Great idea for a thread smarty! It will be interesting to see what people have done

None currently -- just my extermal devices and remotes -- However, I have two intermec touch screen pcs that I will start researching when I have time.

For my front end I use PSP (web) pages. I use HTML, Javascript, and SVG files.
I have a 15" touch screen in my foyer which runs Firefox in Kiosk mode. Links to these pages are on all the computers in the house. I also have the video out of my PH machine connected to an input on my main TV in the living room. For control from there, I have a Gyration mouse and keyboard nearby.
