I'm not a vortexbox user as I'm comfortable with dyi linux server, but my friend expressed interest and the following might increase the appeal for the appliance:
1. easily configurable rsync backup to usb or a network drive. By easy config, I mean a page with combination of cron and options (remote,local, rotating snapshots perhaps). Once people start ripping their data, fast and reliable backup is top priority. I have seen your command line help but I think this is to tech for an appliance market 2. Provide a batch mass conversion tool from audio codec to audio codec while preserving artwork and tags. There was a post few weeks ago (I believe that was a vortexbox user) asking for help mass converting from m4a to flac. I did eventually came across Perl Audio Converter that will probably do the trick for this user, but it would be nice to have preinstalled script that fits into distro 3. Remote desktop or VNC as a backup way of performing some tasks that are not possible via web interface or for a feature that was not requested/coded yet. Again, command line as today probably shuts some potential users off. Plus some people might be surprised to see how attractive Fedora desktop is... -- matka George Transporter->Pathos Logos->Triangle Celius 2 Duets, 1 Boom, 1 SB3 Sansa Clip Plus -> AKG K 420 Fedora Core Linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------ matka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34878 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
