Interesting - where exactly are these posts / discussions? I would be interested in finding out the difficulties and work arounds. I'd like to port SC to the PCH / NMT box. Porting PERL would be my biggest concern (next would probably be mysql). Think about it - it's not as open of a platform - but for about double your money you get it all** (linux & HDMI video) in one box. **Note, no one has yet come up with a PCH application that can *play* music like a squeezebox (i.e. don't go out to buy one thinking this is possible). ...thanks _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
