Been running on various machines for about 2 years. Very few problems. None in the last 18 months that prevented music from playing. > If you can give it a dedicated system, with nothing else running, > and no competition for bandwidth, it now seems mostly okay.

In my experience, I've got a low-end celeron 2.2ghz box running not only slimserver, but Asterisk, MythTV, Big Brother, RRDTool, and a few other smaller apps. Plus it functions as my squid proxy, bind, samba and cups servers and I still have an uptime of 150+ days. If I didn't have to power it down to put it on my UPS, it would have been up to about 400 days by now. Then again, I do unix sys admin at work, and my box runs like a top at home with my kids using it for the occasional game of tux racer too. I don't think I'd ever use windows to run slimserver, although. YMMV. And I've never tried wireless. That seems to be the cause of most of the problems.
