I've been running slimserver on a Linsys NSLU2, with the Unslung
firmware. Indexing is kind of slow, but other than that it works
pretty well - the box seems to stumble and fall over once in a while.
No floating point, so there are a bunch of formats I can't get
at - mostly an issue (for me) for I

I use a 300G gigabit Linkstation and have about 300 CDs ripped as FLAC
files playing through a single SB2. I only use the Linkstation for
slimserver 6.2.1 and it works fine.
Rescans (for new music) takes around 20-30mins, the web interface is a
bit on the slow side but usable; the SB+remote work
I set up my father-in-law with a hacked Buffalo Linkstation (120GB
MIPSEL version) running SlimServer and directly wired to the SB3.
Worked perfectly although I agree with the previous comments regarding
rescanning, and the Linkstation in this configuration is obviously a
dedicated music server.

For a while I had slimserver running on a Buffalo Linkstation - it
worked quite well, until something else wanted to access the drive and
then I got all kinds of drop outs - also, the initial scan to create
the database took *hours* to complete.
I suppose if all you want to do is run slimserver o
