Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox server on Linkstation in Safe Mode?
I've exactly the same problem. My issue is that I want the "random mix" option I used to have on my SBT. However it is a plugin and not available in safe mode when I run the server on my linkstation NAS. I just queried the Linstation support if we can run the server out of safe mode. -- RichardLittlewood RichardLittlewood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87187 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Discrete Small PC - run server
I have run SBS on a Windows XP (Professional) box running headless with RDP for a couple of years, which was okay, but the need to keep virus scanners and security patches up to date was a pain. Also some virus scanners have been known to prevent MySQL from working properly, so you have to choose you security software carefully. I then moved on to a Buffalo NAS running SBS, which was fine for a while, but too slow to be much fun when rescanning the music library or waiting for the WebUI to update. In recent times I moved up to using the Vortexbox distro on a barebones Atom PC that needed only a 1TB HDD and a DVD-ROM drive to make a complete, and cost-effective solution. Of the three methods I've tried the Vortexbox distro has been the least hassle to maintain and the most fun to use. Its low power consumption also means I can leave it running 24x7. I don't have to worry about clashes with virus scanners, either, since Linux doesn't typically need such a thing. I prefer my current Vortexbox based solution to the other two possibilities I've tried, but your mileage may vary. -- dsdreamer -- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87760 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Which is the best NAS to use? Two different issues here: 1. a NAS to hold your tunes? 2. a NAS to hold your tunes AND run SBS? If 1: Since touch almost certainly runs samba client, you might need to edit the touch /etc/fstab file to make it try to mount the NAS at startup. This would require the touch to accept a telnet/vi session (at the least.) If 2: An entirely different bag of worms. This requires the NAS specific SBS server software.

That hardware would be great, but I think you would be better off with VortexBox software on it (its a complete package with linux OS and everything you need all installed at once). Its optimized for running SBS and is free.
