My music and videos currently live on my OS X machine and was planning 
to NFS mount them.  I suppose I could run MySQL on the Mac also, but 
I'd rather run them on the xbox if that will work.  Is the xbox up to 
that task?  I'm trying to use Dennis Cartier's xbox distribution, does 
anyone know if the database is included with that?  If not, any tips or 
tutorials for getting it set up?

Thanks,
