Maybe it simply was over hyped. I waited and waited until the official release date, then, backed up my 5.4.x Slimserver and installed a fresh 6.0 version.
After using it for the last day or so, I wonder what folks were thinking. I see no improvement in speed, whatsoever. I hear dropouts I never had before. And, if that wasn't exciting enough, I'm finding that my system has become almost completely unresponsive with Slimserver eating up over 80% of the cpu when NOTHING is playing on any of the devices on my network. What's it doing? Nothing good. Even better, when I try to stop Slimserver, it just won't die. Even trying to manually kill the process doesn't work. Only a reboot kills it. I'm very frustrated and don't want to be rude, as there are nice people who've worked hard to put this thing together -- however, unless I am really missing something (and I am very thorough) this 6.0 version is NOT READY for widespread use. FYI: I'm running Gentoo Linux (Perl 5.8.6, i686, 2.6.11 Kernel). I'm also running the MusicMagic API, Unless I hear something worthy of staying put, I'm probably going to restore my backup and stay with 5.4.x for a few more weeks.
