Home Automation Question

[Travis Roy]

I've had some talkes with Brian (Karas) about this, but I wanted to open 
it up.

Hopefully (now that the seller finally signed the P&S) I will soon be a 
home owner. I've messed with small (firecracker) X10 stuff but in an 
apartment it's kind of weird and not the best place to do it.

Anybody have any experience with this, specifically with Linux? We're 
mostly insterested in distribution of a stereo system, but light 
control, security, appliances, are all on the list of things to check out.

I looked at Mr. House (www.misterhouse.net) but that looks hugely 
complicated.
