Anyone got any suggestions for setting up a streaming media server on Linux? I'm about to set one up for all of the movies I download and would like any suggestions anyone has to offer.

Why not just use Samba?

You can stream with Samba but that isn't what it was intended for. It is slow and choppy on my 54g Wireless Network....

When you say 54g, do you mean 54G bandwidth? How would it be choppy on a bandwidth of that size?

54g is the 802.11g standard which means it doesn't send at 54 Gigs per second but 54 Megs. Typically though you only see 20 megs per second and a burst of 54 megs. 802.11b is worse than that which claims 11 megs but you typically only see 2 megs per second. My server here only has an 802.11b card which is a bottle neck for playing videos.
