What have been your thoughts about the ReadyNAS 600? I just got one of these last week and upgraded it to a gig of RAM. So far, I've been very disappointed with trying to run SlimServer on it. Infrant really ought to say that it provides only "limited support" for slimserver, since the version they make available to run on the box is semi-crippled.
I just put together a linux server running Fedora Core 4 using an old Pentium III box I had sitting around: ASUS CUSL2 mobo, Pentium III 800mhz, 512mb PC 133 ram. Running Slimserver using MySQL as the database backend, the performance is completely acceptable, even with a pretty large music library (>12,000 tracks.) I need to conduct some more tests, but I think that by throttling down the CPU fan, I can make the box pretty silent. I built 3 systems around the Shuttle XPC SB65G2 P4 barebones platform late in 2003. They worked just fine for WinXP, but I have no idea how well the Shuttle components work with linux. While I was please by the compact form-factor of the boxes, I was disappointed by how noisy they ended up being. -- gharris999 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
