I purchased a NetGear ReadyNas Pro which is Linux based box with SqueezeCenter pre installed. NetGear acquired Infranet. Im not sure where youre getting your information from, but I was playing my Transporter in about 15 minutes after booting up the NAS. Ive never used or had seen Linux, which isnt saying much because you dont really need to know anything about Linux to run SqueezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork or to use the NAS for storage. I control the NAS from a Dell Windows Vista box through a slick http interface. I was so pleased by how the Transporter and NAS performed together, I scored a Duet receiver for the basement system. If you are nervous or uncomfortable configuring the RAID (which youd have to do with a Windows box as well) Eaegis.com, an authorized NetGear reseller will pre-configure it for you. With 5T of storage in the RAID I have plenty of room for my FLACs and the thing has performed flawlessly. -- pbg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pbg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22847 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198
