Is it just me, or shouldn't we be able to expect that the server software is able to run on pretty low powered hardware. A mediasmart with 2G sounds far higher than what ought to be acceptable minimum spec to me, and the OPs machine surely ought to have been powerful enough. Given that for convenience, the server typically needs to be running for considerably more time than the Squeezebox is being actively used (and may even be left running 24/7), and given the trends towards trying to minimise power consumption as well as low power options such as the Sheevaplug starting to become widely available, I feel that the server software ought to be respecting these sort of trends and minimising hardware resource requirements. i.e. going in the opposite direction to that which software has traditionally gone. I have to admit I have a vested interest in this as my server is based around a Via 500MHz chip with 0.5G RAM and I'm looking to reduce my power consumption further by moving to a Sheevaplug. (Despite its apparently low power, my current server works fine BTW - I'd just like to be sure that it or something similarly low powered will continue to do so.) I would also expect that it would be in Logitech's interests given that the new Touch will incorporate a slimmed down server. Anyway, just some thoughts that occurred when I read this thread. -- Zoltan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zoltan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72300 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
