Hi, I think the trick to make this work would be to only run the GUI on a Windows box and leave all the file and audio handling, all the daemons on a Linux box.
If all the file handling that is done by the GUI (such as RDAirplay, RDLibrary, etc) is routed through the Apache service, and with all the audio stuff being done through CAED, then I would think that for a Windows box it *should* be possible to specify to put those services on a Linux box, only run the GUI on Windows (we do have QT3 on Windows). The limitation would be that audio and file handling would need to be on a Linux server. At the moment we're almost there - in rdadmin you can already specify the location of caed and apache. But as I understand it there are areas in the code which don't work fully this way. The other way to accomplish something like this with the current code is to run X on Windows talking to a Linux box (xming or similar) or VNC and remote desktop to the Linux box.
