I don't know. ;) I run Slimserver on a PowerMac G4 with Mac OS 10.4.8
and there's no chance I will ever try installing it in Windows. I might

I've got a HP Compaq slimline business desktop that functions very
nicely. Very quiet, hooked up to my LCD telly with a 5m VGA cable so

can control a Squeezebox with the romote controller of the Media Center
PC connected to a plasma screen and that you can select music, artists,

Does media center come with it's own remote? Does it use a TV and a
normal PC monitor? I might have to visit a shop and see how it

I know how to drive VNC but once I use a laptop I may as well point its
browser straight at my SS.

My mistake, I'd assumed you'd have already seen topics such as this one

You'd think that an X windows based solution would be much more
flexible. You could then display controlling apps on remote X window
managers such as a linux pda or phone.
