I don't think it has the CPU power for running slimserver for anything but a small library. The USB port is a USB 1.1 port- slow, but fast enough for audio playback. RAM is limited to 256 MB. Why would you want a touchscreen on the server, and why would you want the server to be so small? You can put together a pretty nice box for the $250 or so that the tablet costs, one that will perform much better and be much easier to deal with (this machine has no way to access its network controller without a docking station or PC Card network adapter). If you have to reload the OS, you have to pull the HDD out and do a partial install inside another machine, then put it back to complete the install. No fun!
