All good suggestions so far. The Linux distro one uses has a lot to do with personal preference. I've had great success with Open SuSE 10.2. Last night I just loaded up a spare machine with 11.0 and got SqueezeCenter up and running on it no problem.
OpenSuSE has an option to do a minimal install that suits a server setup quite well. I install a without any desktop, just basic X. This is running on a 1.6 GHz P4 with 384MB or RAM. I do all of my music management with Windows computers, so I use SAMBA to share out the music directory. You already have a NAS, so you don't really have to worry about that. You'll just have to mount your NAS onto your Linux server. So go ahead, pick one and try it out. If you don't like if for some reason or it doesn't work with your hardware well, download another distro and give it a whirl. With either ClarkConnect, Open SuSE, Ubuntu, or Red Hat Fedora, you can't go wrong. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
