I should have clarified... I don't have any DLNA devices at work where all the Snap Servers live. I was going to bring the converted Snap home but I needed it for a production archive server.

I chose miniDLNA as the best fit because of two reasons... First, it's actually the DLNA server built into the Netgear ReadyNAS (Debian Linux based) so I figured what better software to put on another Linux based NAS

Second, it's open source, free to use and it's a fairly active project on SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/

Plus from reading other DLNA forums, apparently this software is extremely "lightweight" and just works... if I were to do a DLNA install on a Snap, this would be the first one I would personally test.
