boxee vs. alfresco

after some days of unsuccessful configuration of a "simple" alfresco cluster i gave up. i had enough. alfresco - you beachy beach. so i cracked a cold one and sat down to watch some game of thrones.
i started up boxee and after a couple of seconds i realized: wtf? on - off. nothing. boxee boot loop. yeah, its a real thing. ahh. jeez. i know theres the hard way of going into recovery mode and resetting everything. everything! i really wasnt seeing myself typing in extremely long passwords for shared folders of my diskstation with this crappy little keyboard on the backside of boxees remote. so i did it old school. switching stuff off and on to check if some device is fighting against me. against boxee i mean. diskstation on/off - nothing. xbox on/off - nothing. router on/off - nothing. do i restart my pc? no. takes too much time.
but wait - i have the two alfresco nodes from the cluster running. well... its worth a try. so i shut both alfresco instances down.
BINGO. boxee is coming up again. i am still laughing while writing this.

will investigate this in detail in the coming days.

solution: kids. whenever you want to run boxee and alfresco in the same network, you might want to consider putting cifs.enabled=false into your alfresco-global.properties. 
i am enjoying some GOT now.

time? dont have.

i need a new machine. installing 2 nodes (yeah in parallel, whatever) takes forever.
guess im going with a lenovo workstation (dual socket!) with an intel xeon e5 and plenty of ram.
