I think the lines are getting blurred here, you need to differentiate between Linux and Vortexbox - Vortexbox is based on linux but has been custom built to be very user friendly, auto rips, pulls in tags/artwork etc, you can do all tasks from an easy to use web interface, you don't need to be "geeky" and get into the bones of it, that is one of the beauties of the distro. Whereas if I build a windows home server I would have to install LMS, configure various settings etc. etc., much the same using a mac mini -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91992 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
