Should I assume that the large amount of text in the comment field is not the cause of the poor SlimServer performance on every Windows box and network I've tried it on? Is there anyone more qualified than Robin reading this? I have now tried four different Unix/Linux distros only to eventually find that NTFS drives and Unix do not go together. My next move is to move all 300gb of my music off the Maxtor OneTouch, reformat it with a Unix file system, move all the music back again and then try PCBSD again (being the fastest UNIX GUI system I've tried on this 500Mhz, 500gb RAM PIII machine). This might sound simple, but it's not. It will take me a long time and be highly inconvenient. I can't express how frustrating this is. All I want to do is listen to music on my Squeezeboxes. Instead I find myself grappling with a new OS. And/Or........... Is there anyone living in East Sussex, UK (preferaby Brighton or Lewes) who has a windows network that they reckon their Squeezebox works well with who will let me come round and plug my MaxtorOneTouch in to see how the thing runs (yup, this is how desperate I am)?
If anyone can tell me why RedHat seems make the space bar produce two spaces, I'd be grateful. Writing this post has been painful. MC -- ModelCitizen _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
