Thanks for all the advice guys! I've decided to get the higher specs I suggested, as im having trouble finding SDRAM at a price im willing to pay for it, and having to get a seperate controller card for it as there is no BIOS update to support large discs. Its also a system that has no real upgrade path, so I might as well invest in something more robust and have a dedicated music host. I'm also planning on using VNC for that machine, but probably not much as the webinterface of Slimserver will take care of most things.
Trustix looks interesting, but I have no need for any of the security features it really offers, I was planning to go with BLAG: http://www.blagblagblag.org/; but due to the capabilities of the new system will probably just use a full linux suite and customise it as I go. Might look into FREEBSD afterall down the track, im planning on keeping the music drives and OS drive seperate (spare 40gig drive), might even multi-boot and try a few different combinations. As for Webmin, its a gem.. i've found things there that I could never find in the rest of the OS :) -- SulphurSouls _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
