Now that the server is back up.... Let's not forget the ideal behind SlimDevices and the sqeezebox. The idea is to have a headless server somewhere and not have all your music on a device with a display. Those are called "mp3 players" (sarcasm).
With that in mind, setup a Windows box with RDP/VNC or a linux box with SSH (easier in my opinion) and set the BIOS to "halt on no errors" so it always boots up completely. To answer somebody's question, I didn't test my Slug before I clocked it where it's supposed to be and lack any skills to solder it back to 133Mhz. Mini-ITX would offer better through put than the NSLU2 simply due to the onboard controller. External hard drives attached would probably funtion at nearly the same speeds. You get a much faster CPU and more RAM with miniITX solutions. For US and probably Canada I recommend logicsupply.com. For UK and others on the other side of the Atlantic go with mini-itx.com -- notanatheist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ notanatheist's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19781 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
