Re: [slim] Flac comment tag. Excess text causing Slimserver to runbadly?
Slimserver has run perfectly well on all o/s I've tried. Mine has worked fine on many flavors of OSX as well. However, since you're having some trouble and appear to want to use a *nix of some kind, have you tried downloading the slimcd.iso? I believe that will let you boot from the CD and run slimserver from a minimally sized Linux variant without any other intervention on your part. I haven't done this myself, but it would be pretty easy to try. Kevin -- Kevin O.

Simon @ Home said the following on 02/10/2005 19:19: I use FreeBSD (http://freebsd.org). Unix, not Linux but runs very well on small machines. My Slimserver is running on my mail/web/webDAV server which is a 500Mhz box. A friend of mine is running Slimserver on FreeBSD on a 100MHz 64Mb box with no issues. I don't bother with GUI's on these things though... they consume more ram than the Slimserver app :) I tried FreeBSD as I had been recommended it for underpowered machines, but ended up with a command prompt and not enough time to work out how to use it. I now have PCBSD, which is supposed to be simple to install and leaves you with a gui (hooray!). I intend to use the gui to set up the machine, set up Slimserver, then turn off the gui, put the laptop in a drawer and and never touch it again. Ha ha ha. Simon, Slimserver has run perfectly well on all o/s I've tried. My main machine is a dual P3 1GHz with 1.5GB RAM currently running Fedora Core 4. I've successfully tried it on a PII 450Mhz with 128MB RAM with Mandriva Linux 10.2 I've also installed it on my main desktop machine - a P4 3.4GHz Toshiba Laptop with 1GB RAM. On a PIII 500Mhz machine with 512MB RAM, *any* modern o/s should run perfectly fine - Windows XP, any of the many flavours of Linux, or *BSD. I really don't understand why you're having problems with every o/s you seem to try. The offer of help still stands, BTW.
