[slim] Re: most ancient PC and dedicated slimserver?
I have a PII/266 dedicated to running the slimserver - I'm still running slimserver 6.1.1. I run "headless" (ie. with no monitor) - in the unix command line mode (no GUI). I'm using a 100Mbit/sec wired connection to the SB3 and I've found the SB3 to be very responsive. Starting a new track or browsing through artists/albums is very responsive. I have about a 7500 song library. Scanning the library after the addition of new songs is the only thing that is slow. I typically drop off a few Gig of new songs (usually mp3s recorded at 320Kbps) - hit rescan - and then go to bed. It's ready the next day - I've not really timed how long it takes - but it is several hours I think.

Dell 400MHz PII, 384 MB ram, fedora core 4, slim 6.2 16000 songs and 3 squeezeboxes - rescanning takes half a day and web pages are slow but usable, otherwise works fine and handles aac conversions and alienbbc happily -- bglad bglad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1052 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18427 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'd second the 600mhz route. Running SuSE linux with 512mb. Web interface is a little slow but other than that it works just fine. FWIW I'm running 4 players off it too with no real problems. On the SB2 I don't even get stuttering during scanning as the buffer is so big. -- xio xio's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18427 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

(Obviously) it still skips if it is scanning the library, which is very slow. I'm sure this class of machine can be had for next to nothing from someone throwing one out. -- clumsyoik clumsyoik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1997 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18427 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
