The NAS is targeted at folks who can't handle the work of administering a Linux/*BSD box. It is a nice prepacked solution. Of course, the smart, talented and good looking folks can make something better for the same price, or cheaper. Maybe both. I've had two boxes running SlimServer over the past three years. I've never spent any money on either. Both were machines left over from some other project. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
