OK, let me chime in on this one.  About a year ago I "tried" to get 
Ogle to work on the server but didn't have success.  Now I realize it 
was probably the DeCSS library... BUT, on to my question...

How can I make it so that the teacher can use the DVD drive on the 
server to show movies to her class?  She will have access to an LCD 
projector, so I'll just attach the projector to the server and display 
it from there.
