I was running SS on Windows XP without issue. 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 C with 512 MB of RAM. Then the motherboard died. Ever since I've been on a secondary PC running Ubuntu Linux 7.04: "CPU on board" ECS K7SOM+ with AMD Duron 1.2 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM. Installing SS on the Ubuntu box was easy if you followed the Debian instructions in the wiki, and it's been quite trouble-free. Rescans are amazingly fast on the much slower machine: 5 or 6 minutes for nearly 5000 tracks. The only user responsiveness difference is that page refreshes are a bit slower. Not unusable, just slower. I will shortly be kicking performance up a notch: an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 is on its way to me right now. I'll keep the secondary PC running as a SlimServer until I can get the new hardware up. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34738 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
