In your case as in mine the best solution is amahi server. you can read
about it: amahi.org.
fedora based. very easy to implement and a lot of features out of the
box included sqeezebox server. they are working in a ubuntu version but
can take some time.

Note that the newest FitPC comes with a Z series board, which means a
GMA500 graphics adapter, which is in practice not supported in linux
(and it is unclear if it ever will be). You can probably get some sort
The Fit only comes with 160GB drive, and in 2.5 inch flavour, which are

Also, whilst the fit is very 'green' (<10W) you need to add on the
