1) reliability If your alarm plays way too often the fallback alarm, a local server will help 2) performance If your menu is too slow, a local server will help. 3) feature set. A local server will open the big world of third party applets and plugins (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenter_Repositories) 4) more control Run the version you like. Try out new ones, but revert if you don't like them or make problems Of course running your own 24/7 server needs more skill and time. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.
