Similar experiences here, although I migrated from CentOS (and the Linux perl, mysql, and permission problems) to WHS RC-1. The 6.5.2 installation was uneventful and my favorite Sirius Radio plug-in (yes, that's a plug!) is working in the background. I'm pretty impressed with WHS and SlimServer! -- woodp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ woodp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34622 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
