I'm very new to the SlimServer so I'm not a great resource - I do have SlimServer running on my ReadyNAS however. There is an image of SlimServer available on the Infrant website. You download it to a local machine and then the ReadyNas software has a facility for uploading updates that will install the SlimServer. Reboot the ReadyNAS and you're running. Infrant has an application for talking to their box but you can also simply use a web interface at ip.address/admin. For the slimserver, you simply supply the port interface, by default, ip.address:9000 >From there, you're simply interacting with SlimServer. A few skins are included, I haven't played around with too much. Most of the ReadyNAS boxes come with 128MB of RAM. The Infrant engineers had made the claim that not much performance improvements happened above 256MB before they began to distribute SlimServer. They haven't done much work yet with SlimServer but they suggested that more memory was probably a good idea, especially if you were using jumbo frames and gigabit ethernet. It was pretty cheap so I just dropped a 512MB DIMM into the box. My music library is about 150 GB, FLACs and high bit rate MP3 and performance is fine. Infrant has a forum linked off the support page of their website and they are very quick to respond to any sort of questions. -- BillC _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
