I also wonder about this. I don't see the attraction. I've been running my SlimServer on a cheap PC with Linux for years. It ran for at least a year without me touching the box. I used Samba and would drag and drop newly compressed music. I just bought a complete system from my local whitebox store for $430 or so. It has a AMD64 processor, a gig of ram and a smallish disk. For a few hundred more, I could have gotten as much disks as I wanted, Raid, etc. (I didn't because I had 400 GB of disks laying arround). Installing Mandrake took about 20 minutes from the CDs, and another hour to download all the updates. It has run perfectly since. What is the attraction?
