I have been happily running SlimServer on a Mac Mini since last Oct. It's a doddle on the Mac - even easier (IMHO) than on a PC. The mac Mini runs quiet/near silent so I can leave it on all the time. I have a fair few of the plugins installed and, while AlienBBC took some time to get configured, once I worked through the issues all ran fine. I documented my methods on this and they are available on the Alien BBC install page. I have just started with MusicMagic - you need to ensure you have the latest version - and Pandora. Both fantastic. Only gotcha I have experienced is problems connecting to SqueezeNetwork but this is (I think) down to DNS issues on my Netgear router (DG834G). Aside from that, I would really recommend this setup. As for Windows interoperability, you can run SoftSqueeze on a PC and access SlimServer if that's what you mean. As for moving files around/sharing printers etc, this is all pretty straightforward in OSX. Hope this helps. -- Jungle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jungle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21777 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
