An update: I found a new Ralink mini-PCI card (RT2561 based) which worked just fine for about £15 [Sparklan WL-850R Ralink 11G board from OxfordTec] Following a couple of false starts, I've got Lenny on the N2100. (It definitely helps to ssh in twice and use the second session to open the shell to fix the ntpdate / time problem as detailed in Martin Michlmayr's page at www.cyrius.com). Empirically, it appears to be running fairly cool - I suspect the newer SATA drives are pushing out less heat than older drives. Base system + build essential + rsync + apache there so far: mediatomb possibly to follow. [Apparently, on Windows at least, you could at one time tell the iTunes software to accept music from a shared source - hence the rationale behind the way that Thecus originally did this. I'm not sure that the latest iTunes does this.] If not, it turns into a small, low powered Debian mirror server (which might not be a bad thing to take to any conferences - the second GB port could be used for PXE booting :) ) All best and thanks for the encouragement thus far, AndyC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've been using iMediaSuite on my iPhone and iPod Touch. Your milage may vary. It can also act as a server to share your pictures. Just a note, I'm also using Mediatomb to stream directly to my Samsung TV. > > -- > Derek. ___ Cellent Finance Solutions AG Firmensitz: Calwer Straße 33, 70173 Stuttgart Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 720743 Vorstand: Thomas Wild Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Rudolf Zipf
Re: Thecus N2100 Yes box
I use mt-daapd on an NSLU2 running Debian to act as a shared library to iTunes and also use MediaTomb to serve media to other uPnP clients, but I haven't found anything on the iPod Touch which will act as a uPnP client. The Crossfire web app can 'sort of' stream music, but I haven't found an native streaming client. Have you located something suitable for the client end? -- Derek.
