Mine is serving just under 10k tracks (it should hit 10k sometime in the next few days though if the post office cooperates..) with a P2/400 and 256M of RAM. I am using mysql (for no real reason other than I know it and can play with it... I use it to figure out what doesn't have musicbrainz tags, what needs album art...), but don't have X or anything installed on the machine, just a quickie debian net-install.
The needs for Slimserver are really pretty low since an aging p2 handles it just fine. The 'learning linux' part would be trickier, depending on how much you wanted to use a gui. X11/KDE/Firefox/etc all start taking a good amount of memory. If you can deal with an ssh session, though, the needs are pretty low. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22506 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
