The alix is not really able to handle transcoding with sox, or at least not something over 24/96. O have recently posted about my attempts at building an all-in-one SBS server on this platform. I've not given up but there is not much room. If you don't run SBS on the alix then all is well. It has an IDE port, so if you want to plug a big drive it's either usb (ok) or a sata mini-pci card. I have an Aaeon that works just fine, but you'll have to look for it. (and decide how to bing power to the drive.) Very reliable hardware, in my experience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
