We can all see his short coming, Technology! The reviewer didn't even investigate that with VB one doesn't need to "know" Linux. One doesn't use a CLI with VB unless one wants to. One uses the built in WebUI with all the shares on auto-detect. I know enough Linux to use a server version but I don't because VB makes it so easy to move my files from my MACs and Windows PCs with the built-in WebUI.
I guess the reviewer didn't both to check what support was available from the Manufacture, the Vortexbox website, and Forum. One simple glance at the first support pages shows even the most computer OS illiterate person that no knowledge of Linux or use of CLI is needed. Simple easy instructions that only require the use of a keyboard on another PC on the network. Basically, one sets up the VB and forgets it. All interaction can be from any PC on the Network if one choices especially if one is ripping with something like dBpowerAmp on a Windows PC. He is basically a poor reviewer when it comes to equipment he doesn't use or understand. Instead of looking to see how the VB is or can be used, he starts looking for unnecessary workarounds and puts another OS on the VBA. He makes no attempt to discover the true beauty of a set it up and forget Music Server. Then to top everything off, he is back on the expensive 'Magical' SATA cables. He just can't let that go. He reminds me of an AudioFool not an Audiophile. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81499 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
