Re: [slim] Possible SC7.0 Server for $119?
Hi' As I also have interest in this question (how to use DNS-323 without using a PC), I forward some info on the DNS-323: http://wiki.dns323.info All the needed info should be here. I hope that this helps Thanks for your reply.

Re: [slim] Possible SC7.0 Server for $119?
Looks like 64MB RAM, a 500 MHz ARM processor, and telnet access. I expect that will be able to run SC7, but no guarantees on that. I can guarantee that if you get it running the web ui will be extremely slow, and it will take a long time to scan your music library, but for the most important thing -- streaming music -- it might be okay. Note that this will *not* be a plug-and-play operation. You'll most likely need to install SC7 from the tarball (tar.gz file) and build the various required perl modules on the NAS, which will also be slow going. In fact, one of the first things you'll have to do is install perl itself. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45705 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

And the attraction is...? small size? low power usage? because it's there? I'm asking because, for about the same $$, without messing about with rebates, you can get components that will plug together and that you can install a standard version on, so not have to mess about with building it. Not to mention much faster scanning and a more responsive web interface (well, I guess I just did that)... -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45705 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It looks like you can get a KPC with 512mb ram, 80gb hdd, and 1.8ghz processor for around $229 (it's the K-4500 model). It also runs Foresight Linux which seams to be based on rPath Linux. I don't have any familiarity with this distro, but it would make sense that it should run SC7 without issue out of the box (less tweaking than a NAS device). -- ik632 ik632's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13780 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45705 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've been using Squeezeboxen since SB1. I've never 'bought' a server. I just have used old PCs that were too old and too slow to do real work on. For three years or so, it was a P3-500. Now its an AMD of ~2600 rating. Both were castoffs. I have spent $100 every couple of years for more disk storage. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Try installing SSODS on it. It seems to have the same CPU as the TS-x09. And on those SSODS runs fine with minor changes (see the included ssods-ts script). -- flipflip Check out flipflip's 'SlimServer On DiskStation (SSODS)' (http://oinkzwurgl.org/ssods/)! flipflip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5223 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45705 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Looks pretty hard to find though. Size and Energy Usage are my 2 important reasons for looking for a dedicated music server.

Re: [slim] Possible SC7.0 Server for $119?
What kind of processor and how much RAM does it have? That info wasn't in the first layer of specs I looked at on the D-Link site. You'll need at least 64MB RAM to run SC7 tolerably, and 128-256MB is actually a more reasonable minimum. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45705 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
