I have a fitpc box and have put slitaz on it.
The idea is to have a external harddrive connected
to this PC and connect the pc to my stereo.
The PC will be controlled from my main PC or 
if I can get it working through a local Wi-Fi 
connection to the fitpc using a mobile or such.
I don't want to share it with the world or outside my
house or use iTunes.
I have just install slitaz but am having problems.
No simple editor for firewall.
ssh only works out, refuses to except password on way in.
cannot install pyserial or tkinter.
mpd loads but firewall is blocking I think
