I just went straight non-tweaked ext3, but now that I think about it,
the filesystem is mainly read-only, so I don't really need journalling,
right?
Also, if one stores everything under a couple of directories and as
If you are looking for a disk for your audios, pretty much everything
works. Even usb1.1 (12Mbps) is enough to support a few slimserver
clients.
When streaming data slimserver uses lame so it needs to be able to read
the file in native format mp3 (up to 320Kbps). The rest is done in

Many thanks to everyone who replied. Some great advice!
In summary:
- Ubuntu linux
- Seagate SATA internal or USB external HD
- For backups, backuppc
I have some more questions:
I don't know if I can use an external HD. The original PC hardware uses
USB v1.1. Is it possible to install a USB v2
While I do like Seagates, and basically what I'm telling you is to buy a
Seagate, you can also buy Maxtor drives which are basically identical to
Seagates. I bought this 500G Maxtor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144455
that is literally the same drive as a 300G Seaga
I definitely recommend SeaGate. I am using an external SeaGate FreeAgent
750 Gbyte connected via USB 2.0. I reformatted it as a Linux drive. It
has a small footprint, looks nice, does not get very hot, and is
extremely quiet.
I am running SlimCD for my music server.

You received good advice above, but there is one other thing to check
before buying a hard drive. The BIOS of older machines may not support
as large a hard drive as you wish to buy. It would be worth checking
how large a drive your BIOS will support beforehand.

Personally I recommend Ubuntu Linux. FreeNAS also looks like a good
option
Hello,
My Squeezebox arrived this weekend, and to try it out, I installed
SlimServer on my XP machine, and it works like a dream.
But my intention is to install SuSE Linux or freeNAS on an old 800 MHz
machine I have, and run SlimServer on that. However, I'll have to
upgrade the hard disk, since
