Your premise was -"someone who just wanted to replay music and not spend their time tinkering with the software or pleading for help on these bulletin boards: what would you recommend"-. If that's not about what people want/like/don't like I don't know what is. It's not about liking specific products, but about liking specific features and requirements of different products.

As the thread lengthens > this approach gets less effective. I think it is positive. I also think it's just not pro-SB for this particular user. Logitech would still be interested in this user -- just maybe not for their SB line. I don't see what's negative about saying a particular product is not a good match for a particular user. dBerriff;456395 Wrote: > Unless some other suggestions come along I think I am going to save up > for a Tranquil workstation (virtually silent, I am told), load Ubuntu > Server on it and hope I can remember how to get Samba working as easily > as I did last time.

The Tranquil PC sounds like a good system, and I'm a big fan of Ubuntu. But this doesn't sound anything at all like the turnkey system you said was the goal. The Vortexbox Appliance (running Vortexbox, of course) is much, much closer to a turnkey solution. On the SB side use any of the SB players that support IR remote: Classic, Touch, Boom, Radio, or Transporter. The SB Controller has worked pretty well for me, but I don't think it's as robust as the other systems. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
