I'm about to buy an AppleTv and I'm wondering if it is possible to access the media that are hosted on my ubuntu PC.

At home, I have:

• A Ubuntu PC with all my media on it


• A Windows Laptop (not always available/running) that I'm using to configure my IPad2 (and soon, my AppleTv)


• An IPad2

For what I understand:

• AppleTv can access the media via ITunes if it is opened on my Windows laptop.


• I can stream media from my IPad2 to the AppleTv (in the case ITunes is not available)

Is it possible for me to setup my Ubuntu PC to send media via Airplay to the AppleTv?

EDIT : If it is not possible via airplay, any other suggestion are welcomed.

EDIT2 : What about intalling XBMC or thin Plex client on a jailbroken Apple TV (2nd or 3rd gen)?

Thanks
