when radio is on air you can tune in by clicking on the Peppies-Jukebox link on the top of the page (members only) and by leaving it open you can browse the site content and join in with stuff all at the same time or if you join us you can join us in the irc channel to see whats being played, make requests and join in with us there too. 
Difficulty Level: Easy-to-Moderate.
I decided to turn a Netbook into a dedicated torrent box and file server for a convenient always-on-low-power-consumption-"server"
Step 1: Get really bored
Step 2: Purchase a cheap netbook (I chose a Dell Mini 9 ($129 at the time))
Step 3: Grab a spare HDD
Step 4: Download an image of Ubuntu desktop edition
Go ahead and blow away that crappy pre-customized Ubuntu distro first off. Then once you have successfully installed Ubuntu go to Synaptic Package Manager and install Samba (smbserv).
Once completed, open up terminal and root in.
Type "cd /etc/samba"
type "gedit smb.conf"
Copy and Paste this in there...just blow away all that is in there

(Note this is mostly shared code with a few lines inserted in. I cannot take personal credit for it)
Save and exit
Type "/etc/init.d/samba restart"
Insert new smb passwd
Type "smbpasswd -a INSERT-NETBIOS-NAME-HERE"
Once completed....
Open up Nautilus and right click on the directory you wish to share. I am far from proficient via terminal so I prefer the GUI option. Click 'Share Folder' insert the obvious information-here boxes. Go to your main PC (I use Windows 7 and not Linux for Gaming) and map the drives as such:
\\your-ip-address\share-name
enter your credentials
YOU ARE 1/2 WAY DONE!
This part is easy...
Open up preferences and click on Remote Desktop
Click enable and "do not sent authorization"- this way you don't have to click YES on the Netbook every time you want to obtain access.
Go to your main PC (if you are using Linux moot this step)
Download VNC viewer.
Enter the IP address of the device
done.
