Slimserver is made by it's users. However, after the 6.3.0/6.3.1 mess, as chronicalled on these forums) it does appear like 6.5.* is repeating this, new SlimDevices quality control people or not.
However (and this is a big one or two): 1) Only the people with problems post to the forums 2) The software is agressively cross platform, which if you are a user of Windows (like the vast majority of other personal computer users) comes with some downsides. Another painful thing is that you really need to *completely* remove your old 6.3.* installation (including plugins) before installing 6.5 as the architecture (seperate scanner, new database etc) is so different. Unfortunately this is not at all made plain on the Slimserver download pages (why not?? it's a simple thing to implement!). The upside is the community, the help that's offered on these forums is phenominal, second to none. These guys are angels and will help you fix almost anything (bar your toilet).
