I've had an old 766/1 GB box sitting in my office waiting for me to set it up as a stand-alone, always-on Squeeze server. I'm willing to give it some testing from the perspective of a Linux newbie. I'll load up some of my CD's, copy some of my existing library, and generally "kick the tires" if you'd like, but as a warning my testing time is limited at the moment with completing construction in my basement for Thanksgiving (an extra guest room & bath) though I should make that "dead line" (& I'm the one who'll be dead idf I miss it ;) SS -- Secret Squirrel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Secret Squirrel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4984 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55064
