You have a PC dedicated for this stuff? What PC, bought in the last 5 years, is incapable of running SoftSqueeze/Java and Squeezecenter simultaneously? You're running Windows already, which means you're pretty much stuck with the graphic interface. > * Run VNC (I only have one permanently on PC, it runs SlimCenter?

You must control the thing someway, right? Remote Desktop is fine as well of course. > * Run a Linux PC (learn a new OS for one app? I have children) > I didn't say you had to learn it, just run it. You don't have to be a Linux expert to run a few programs. BTW, what you want runs fine under Windows, it's just that *I* would prefer Linux for this application. SqueezeCenter just runs better on it. > For my immediate requirements it looks like all I need to do is get > Squeezeslave to run as a service (or put up with the permanently open > dos box and the fact that it only starts at login). > I feel you have the wrong end of the stick on this whole headless thing. > It's all a bit immaterial at the moment though.
