146 days is somewhat a dream. Having said that in linux if a process does fail its easy to restart that specific process - in windows this often isn't the case, the whole box has to go down.
I am (and have to an extent already) seriously considered the linux route. I used SlimCD today and it is good no doubt. My gripes revolve around my lack of use of linux which make it frustrating. I can see how the writer of the version has tried so hard to make than less of an issue for windows users. My music is on a 300gig drive that is NTFS. My question is whether that is compatable with linux - i read it will be read only for NTFS (?). Another music drive is FAT32 - so linux will be OK with that straight off? I can't go and reformat the NTFS drive either - its got all the music on it! So i need to buy another 300 gig drive to sort that one out. And i want to mount the drives so that they're always there, no remapping needed. ALso would need to get the wireless card working on it (the box will go in the garage) - netgear rangemax are windows only drivers, so have to get some porting software to sort out that, which is not ideal situation and may not work. These are small barriers to entry which make it less attractive. -- eeyssjr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eeyssjr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18129 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
