Thats cool, not too far off the beeten track then, I was a bit worried for a while then.
Sorry new to this server stuff, can see I am going to have fun setting
this network up for SB2. What is run as a service and schedual task it.........please ?
If you run it as a service then slimserver will load as soon as you start the computer and, I believe, that if slimserver crashes then windows will reload the service.
If you run it as a scheduled task then it will just load up as a regular program. This is not much of a problem really as slimserver doesnt tend to crash (cant remember the last time it happened)
I take it that it is best to have it as a service, is this achievable if I step up to win2000?
Yes
How different is Lunix, and is that easy to set up?
It is not too bad to install if you choose the right distribution but it is very easy to get VERY frustrated at it if you are used to windows and things jsut 'working'. However if you fancy a challenge it is worthwhile.
I know not much about pc's so simple is good for me.
Probably best just stick with windows.
The other option would be to dual boot windows and linux until you are happy just with your linux setup but that is another can of worms!
HTH
