Of course its a bogus metric. But its easy to get. I would not call 1000+ large, since I have 800+ I will claim that having one or more SqueezeBoxes causes you to buy more CDs. I ran for years on a P3-500 and it was fine. I think memory is much more important than CPU speed. The more recent versions of SqueezeCenter/SqueezeBoxServer take more resources than older versions, feature creep and all that. Its expected that SBS 8.0 will reduce the requirements once its released, but I don't expect it until late this year or early next. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
