Thanks for your questions. I will get some more documentation on the site as I have time. Here are the answers to your questions. Maybe Ill add some of these to a FAQ on my site.
1. No there is no Xwindows GUI on VortexBox its all done through the web interface. I may add one if people are interested. 2. If you connect to it with a browser you get a minimal interface and the SC interface. 3. Its Linux so it should run on almost any PC hardware from the past 10 years. 4. I have the FLAC and MP3 files shared by default on read only shares. That way the kids dont delete my files. There is also a writable share if you want or add or edit files or if you want to use VortexBox as a general file server. 5. Im pulling the tags from CDDB I have almost 200 CDs on my VortexBox so far and the data seems good. Of course some people will still want to edit them. 6. Yes a rescan is auto-started after every rip. 7. Fedora is RPM based. You can use yum to update. For example yum update SqueezeCenter from command line would update to the latest version. 8. Yes VortexBox comes preloaded with 7.2.1 I have been trying to figure out the best way to add plugins. I could have a web interface that adds them. Or I could just include a bunch of popular ones. Donation button! Good idea I guess I could get a few bucks for my work. Although I think Im like most of you and I do this for enjoyment :) -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55064
