yes thats exactly it, you just plug it into your router and then whichever zones you have will get the music from the VB. I have a boom, radio and duet currently and will probably get the touch when it comes out - i use the Duet controller and my iphone running iPeng (£5) for controllers, my girlfriend also has the iphone app which helps and then the web page from time to time if on laptop In terms of server software, not sure what you mean but the VB appliance comes pre-installed with squeezebox server, the full blown version -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76721
