Following on from this: Which *nix would be a good choice for a standalone (slimserver) server? The only one I'm (slightly) familiar with is FC, but quite a few people seem to be running FreeBSD.
I'm assuming the server doesn't need to run X and would be remotely administered using ssh; would it be better to transfer music across via ftp (or something), rather than using samba and all it's associated hassle? I really want to setup a system where *anyone* can rip and play a CD, so I need to make the thing work as simply and reliably as possible. Load CD - press button - wait for eject - done, would be ideal. Any suggestions gratefully recieved. -- Patrick Dixon _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
