Steve, I have been running version 6.1.1 on a PPC first gen LinkStation
for well over a year now. It has worked without any problems and
response is excellent with about 650 albums/7000 tracks (mostly FLAC,
few mp3s, no transcoding, no album art). I have resisted the urge to
upgrade because it works so good. In parallel, I also run some of the
latest nightly builds of version 6.5b on Mac OS 10.4 & Windows boxes on
my backup libraries and I haven't noticed any difference in the response
(with the exception of transcoding for remote streaming) even though my
Mac and Windows hardware is significantly more powerful. 

I beleive I still have the original v.6.1.1 tar someplace.
