Follow the instruction in the wiki (note requirement for additional dependency if you have the ububntu 8.10 server) I use a headless PC running Ubuntu 8.10 server (see signature below). To help manage the server from a terminal, I use midnight-commander, htop and rcconf. These apps can be called from an SSH terminal on a linux box or from a Windows PC using PuTTY. Add the following packages: apt-get install mc (file manager) apt-get install htop (enhanced version of top) apt-get install rcconf (to control startup scripts) You can also install apps needed for the AlienBBC plugin and for decoding non-native streams. apt-get install mplayer apt-get install lame When you have installed Squeezecenter, connect using a browser from another computer to http://<yourserverip>:9000 Ideally your music should be stored on your server PC, to save running any other machines. SC runs its own instance of MySQL so to reduce processor load, from a terminal type: sudo rcconf deselect mysql from startup list with rcconf. My ubuntu 8.10 server has run without problem for a number of months now. I never have the need to use a GUI. I couldn't anyway as my Nvidia video card is no longer supported by 8.10. -- Ramage P2 266MHz, ubuntu server 8.10 SC 7.3.3~25112 AMD64x2 ubuntu 8.04, SC 7.4~25118 Players: Classic, Duet, Boom, Controller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ramage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5343 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60474 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
