Some answers... 1) The Debian link. I'm not sure why this doesn't work for you but I can reach it fine from my browser. I'm pretty sure it's not an "official" Debian package (a bit like Slimserver...) but I found it as the 3rd link on a Google of "Debian dvbshout". As you'll see below I'm far from an expert at this but the "wget" package listed on this "sponsor" page seems to work for me. The direct link to the package is "wget: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~bresser/dvbshout/dvbshout_0.2-1_i386.deb ".
2) Windows.... This is my first direct experience of any type of Linux. As per the first post my setup so far has consisted of an (ancient, very noisy) Win 98SE system with a Wavefinder and DABBar and my main desktop system running XP SP2. As the Wavefinder won't work with SP2 and current Slimservers won't work with Win98 something had to give, so I thought I'd give Ubuntu a go - partly to see if all the hype was justified. I'm a total convert, although I have to admit there's a pretty steep learning curve. You can easily / cheaply get an old Pentium 3 type system (my local council tip has them by the skip-load, or try ebay if you want a more conventional route<g>). It's taken me a couple of weeks (most evenings) to get it working but having done it I can't imagine any reason to revert to a Windows-based server system. The kid's games prevent me from converting the XP desktop to Ubuntu Desktop, otherwise I'd be sorely tempted. Before going down this route I did a lot of searching into Windows based alternatives but couldn't find any with the same set of Slimserver / DVB Radio streaming options. If you want to follow the same path I suggest starting with Ubuntu Desktop to get familiar then, if you want to strip things down / speed things up a bit, start again with the server version. The server has quite a long list of packages you need to add to get up and running but it all seems to slot together pretty neatly.
