Hi, I installed 6.5.1 on the latest Windows Home Server Beta (I joined the Beta this weekend). Slimserver installs exactly the same way as on XP. The features seem to be exactly the same, apart from the ability to automatically start at system start (vs. at login) - though maybe this option already existetd earlier, and I simply never have noticed it. So far no problems, but also no real reason to use Home Server as compared to normal XP (from a Slimserver perspective, that is). Compared to a Linux installation (I set up Slimserver on Ubuntu 6.04 Server a few weeks ago), setting up Slimserver on Windows Home Server is a lot easier (don't need to worry about Samba settings, UTF-8 vs. ISO-settings, configuring the firewall correctly, etc.), i.e., the total process of installing Windows Home Server and Slimserver up and running took me approximately 1,5 hours. Performance seems to be not quite as good, at least Slimserver's web interface seems less "snappy". I haven't made up my mind yet whether I will continue to use Windows Home Server (and eventually purchase it) or not. As stated, from a pure Slimserver perspective, it doesn't make sense to use it because it doesn't seem to have any advantage over XP. I need to play around more with the other features, although at the moment the main selling points seems the backup functionality.
