If you want a windows based PC, I'd control it over VNC or Remote Desktop if I were you. > Softsqueeze appears no good (large java footprint) and no headless > capability. Just keep it logged in and keep SoftSqueeze running. It can (also) be controlled with the Controller and the web interface (of course). How much does a megabyte of RAM cost these days? That's enough to run Softsqueeze and Squeezecenter. There's no reason a headless (no display) box couldn't run a virtual display. > Squeezeslave seems to be almost there but the latest version on > Sourceforge (0.7.4.2: > http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169) is not > integrated with SlimServer, opens up a dos box when run and does not > run as a windows service (so requires me to be logged on at the PC for > it to run). > > If I could work out how to run Squeezeslave as a Windows Service and > this meant that the dos box did not open it would be fine. > > Then all it needs to is to be seemlessly integrated into SlimCenter > 7.0! :-) All players (including SoftSqueeze and squeezeslave) are seemlessly integrated in SC7.0 and can be conveniently controlled with the controller. Personally, I'd use something like Ubuntu for such an application. It's free, Squeezecenter runs better on it and it needs less resources.
