Yea, we use a slimserver at work to play music in our cube.. having
access to the web interface is great for everyone to be able to cue up
tracks.

We even tried running our slimserver under a Xen instance on a test
server in our datacenter just for fun.  256mb of ram for the Xen
virtual machine, didn't seem slow at all.

Slimserver doesn't need that much power.. My parrents run it on a
P2-300 with 256MB.. it's a dedicated slimserver and ripping/encoding
machine.
