Some people have had problems with SlimServer not being able to find music on external USB drives, but (as far as I know) it's always been a permissions problem when running on a unixy-type box. It's certainly fixable...

(My SlimServer box is an always-on, low-power Kurobox) See also _'this_recent_thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32674)_ for a discussion about waking up a sleeping server... I guess your server box's ethernet card would need to support _'WOL' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN)_?
