Music Server Question:

I have a neighbor, not an audiophile, who is interested in building a Linux based Music server. He writes Linux programs.
He's in the planning stages of figuring out what he needs to set up a home theatre/entertainment system at his house. He'd like to incorporate the music server into the equation. He would probably never sit and listen to the music, but would have it on in the background as most non audiophiles would.
Any suggestions?
Also, do you think it's time they made a section of the forums just for music servers?
I do.

Thanks,
Rolloff

Heyitsmedusty:
Actually I was looking for a specific answer, which I thought was implied in my question with regards to this being a Linux based system. As he writes linux prgrams, it should also be implied that he would know he needs a hard drive, and soundcard. That you attempted to reply to the question at all, is at least more than anyone else did, which may speak to the nature of music servers being different than the usual audiphile gear/knowledge base.
Reiterated:
Any specific software writen as a music server program for Linux?
Any specific soundcards certified to work with Linux based software?

Thanks,
