Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Minimum CPU/mem req for Slimserver without X
Hi, I'm running slimserver on a VIA mini-ITX 500Mhz rig, linux (ubuntu), alongside the usual web-, mail and fileserver tasks. No performance problems. Flac's are served up without any hickups.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Minimum CPU/mem req for Slimserver without X
I'm running SlimServer (and other incidental stuff, such as NFSD, SSHD etc) on a Kurobox HG. This is a 266MHz PPC box with 128Mb RAM. SlimServer, along with AlienBBC etc, runs fine. Gentoo took a while to install, but it works great now.

I've got you both beat... P3 450Mhz w/ 64MB RAM running FreeBSD 6.1 w/ a MySQL 5.0.27 backend and a 1.5TB RAID5 (4x 500GB WD SATAII drives on a cheap raid controller). The machine acts as a firewall/router for a large network while handling a 5000+ archive of FLAC tracks with ease -- all the while streaming 96k files (Pet Sounds DVD-A) to my Transporter.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Minimum CPU/mem req for Slimserver without X
I just put SlimServer on a Solaris 10 x86 box with an Athlon 800MHz CPU and 768MB of RAM. I did have only 256 but RAM is indeed cheaper than waiting... I just installed the default complete Solaris package. I'm quite happy with the performance of SlimServer, even when using the web interface. -- 4mula1 4mula1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32056 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Minimum CPU/mem req for Slimserver without X
While this thread seems abandoned I found the information here useful and I think it is still relevant as throw-away hardware seems to become more and more powerful. Here's my info: - Slimserver 6.5 running on a Jetway B860T with a PIII @ 1.2GHz and 128MB of PC100 RAM. - OS is FreeBSD 6.2 without X and only ssh in addition to the slimserver related apps/libs. It runs a custom kernel - unused stuff is trimmed out. - I use a 320GB ATA100 WD drive (8M cache) strictly for data; there are 2 partitions of ~150GB using UFS2. The system drive is on a different IDE channel and much smaller. - My collection consists of 320kBit/s FLAC files (my CD collection) and some MP3. Roughly there are ~5000 tracks and I keep adding as I digitize them. It runs smoothly and without stutter even while the server is updating the DB w clean & update option. The free memory is ~480K while updating and ~17M during normal serving (w ~50M inactive). I only have a SB2 client but I'll try it with an additional softsqueeze or two. -- fry fry's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32056 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Minimum CPU/mem req for Slimserver without X
1) Will running slimserver on modern XP laptop be fast enough? Yes. 2) Will Squeezebox find the slimserver running on the laptop, even though the laptop may turn on only minutes before playback, and have a different IP. Is reconfig required? How much of a hassle is it to run and find slimserver on a roving machine like a laptop? I think the SB is keeping the server's IP address. You'd therefore better have a fixed address. Most dhcp servers can assign these automatically so you don't have to give up dhcp. 3) Can the Squeezebox get a static IP (e.g. 192.168.1.99) or look for the slimserver by hostname? See above. 4) Please confirm: a 300Mhz Celeron II with 128Mb or 256Mb, running Linux-2.6.19 with no X, is *not* going to work as a slimserver. Can _not_ confirm. With 256MB this would work. You probably wouldn't be happy with the web interface performance, though. 5) Would Athlon XP 1500, 512Mb DDR suffice? (I have a few of those parts around) More than enough. My machine has a lot less horsepower (Via C3/1GHz) and easily handles web, mail, another MySQL and all the rest of a typical home server as well. Configured as a dedicated SlimServer running some Linux flavour this would be a great choice. -- Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

How much of a hassle is it to run and find slimserver on a roving machine like a laptop? You can do static IPs on both ends, but if they're both on the same subnet they'll find each other. Keep in mind that if both machines are on wireless, you'll tax your WAP more heavily than it might be able to handle (streaming 320kpbs music twice is not the same as browsing the web and downloading some files). 3) Can the Squeezebox get a static IP (e.g. 192.168.1.99) or look for the slimserver by hostname? yes, and no. 4) Please confirm: a 300Mhz Celeron II with 128Mb or 256Mb, running Linux-2.6.19 with no X, is *not* going to work as a slimserver. That should be fine, with 256 mb. There are those who'd run it with 128 mb or less, but RAM is cheaper than waiting :) 5) Would Athlon XP 1500, 512Mb DDR suffice? (I have a few of those parts around) That would do fine. -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
