Ummm...as does Windows XP (although the more geek-sided may refuse to believe that)....what's your point?
Slimserver is open source, so Linux is the closer analogue. Windows XP is 1) proprietary and 2) owned by Microsoft, so it has its excuses for being so unreliable.
Making slim server less user-friendly/ugly would be a very dumb move. Besides, after a bit of tweaking off the bat, slimserver runs reliably, unless you are one that enjoys downloading the latest nightlies...then you're asking for it.
Little is less user friendly than a massive package of Perl code that crashes frequently in a mass of cryptic Perl error messages. Or just grinds slowly to a halt for no apparent reason, gobbling all CPU time until it has to be restarted manually.
This is on a Linux machine with ECC memory and RAID disks that otherwise runs flawlessly for months. So it's not hardware.
v5.4.1 runs beautifully on my Windows XP machine...so on a decent linux machine, I would only imagine how smooth it would run.
I see various nightly versions of 5.4.x, but nothing officially labeled 5.4.1. If this is supposed to be the most stable release, recommended for those that want reliability over features, it should be labeled and distributed as such.
