actually, the files can be anywhere on the network as long as
slimserver has appropriate permissions to access those files over the
network. On windows, if you install slimserver as a service, you will
have to configure the service to run under a specific user in order to
access files on a mapped drive. Standard services are denied access to
the network. Check the FAQ at slimdevices.com (search for shared
volume) for details.
Running linux, over nfs or samba also works. Gigabit network should be
good for this, though there may still be some extra time overhead when
it comes to scanning. I have run with files remotely at 100Mb and it
was noticeably slower. There are some users who also run with music on
firewire or usb drives.
