I run Slimserver on a 455MHz G4 Mac Cube. Runs very reliably, and as the Mac Cube is fanless, I can hardly ever hear it. (The only problem is that it is not fast enough to run InguzEQ). There are two features built into OS X that make it a nice Slimserver platform. First, in system preferences, you can schedule when you want your machine to turn on and off (esp. if, like me, you occasionally forget to shutdown). The other nice trick is to use Apple Remote Desktop to run the box headless -- without a keyboard or monitor. Once you turn this on (on the server side in Sharing->Services->Apple Remote Desktop) and configure it, you can use an oddly named piece of shareware named "Chicken of the VNC" to easily access the server from your other Macs. (Of course, both of the above are not unique to the Mac platform, but they are built right into the OS and nicely implemented). muski -- muski SB3->Bryston BP25DA->Bryston 4B SST->Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Transporter via XLR->Headroom Max Balanced Headphone Amp->Balanced AKG701s & HD650s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39312 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
