Sorry new to this server stuff, can see I am going to have fun setting this network up for SB2. What is run as a service and schedual task it.please ? If you run it as a service then slimserver will load as soon as you start the computer and, I believe, that if slimserver crashes then windows will reload the service. If you run it as a scheduled task then it will just load up as a regular program. This is not much of a problem really as slimserver doesnt tend to crash (cant remember the last time it happened) I take it that it is best to have it as a service, is this achievable if I step up to win2000? Yes How different is Lunix, and is that easy to set up? It is not too bad to install if you choose the right distribution but it is very easy to get VERY frustrated at it if you are used to windows and things jsut 'working'. However if you fancy a challenge it is worthwhile. I know not much about pc's so simple is good for me. Probably best just stick with windows. The other option would be to dual boot windows and linux until you are happy just with your linux setup but that is another can of worms!

If you are running Win2000 or WinXP the installer will set it up as a service automatically. On windows 98, you'll need to use the Scheduled Tasks icon to automatically start up the slim.exe at startup time. I take it that it is best to have it as a service, is this achievable if I step up to win2000? How different is Lunix, and is that easy to set up? If you are running a RedHat or Fedora Linux, then you should be able to install the RPM file pretty easily, once you have Linux up and running. -dean ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Deaf cat, I'm using SlimServer on a Windows ME machine with no problems at all. Only catch is I can't run it as a service, I have to start the app up, close it and leave server running.
