I can't speak to slimserver on XP, never tried it. But this is a snapshot from my slimserver box (beatles)/home/pfarrell> uname -a Linux beatles.pfarrell.com 2.6.8.1-12mdk #1 Fri Oct 1 12:53:41 CEST 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 3000+ unknown GNU/Linux (beatles)/home/pfarrell> uptime 15:22:33 up 146 days, 3:27, 2 users, load average: 0.16, 0.18, 0.11 Seems to me that 146 days should be enough, that is five months or so. The box has been essentially untouched since October a year ago. Look at the slimserver CD. it is really easy. I can't say what is too much of a hassle for you, but there is a *nix list and we've gotten a lot of folks up and running -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
