I have one PC (as stated above) that is always on. This is my deskop machine and a SlimCenter server. Of course, it is capable of running SoftSqueeze as is... it's just that it is entirely unnecessary for me to do that and it'll get in the way.

Remote Desktop is fine as well of > course. I have used VNC for years at work, but it is not much use for me when I only have one PC at home! I think the confusion comes from my use of the word "headless". I was referring to using Softsqueeze in headless mode (See title "headless player"). I was hoping that this meant using it without any sort of graphical interface (and my doubt is illustrated by the way I phrased it as a question in the post). Sorry it wasn't clear. BTW. I now prefer to use Windows intergrated remote desktop (Terminal Server as was) in preference to VNC. Peter;279910 Wrote: > > I didn't say you had to learn it [Linux], just run it. You don't have > to be a Linux expert to run a few programs. I've tried to install various flavours of Linux at various times since I first dived into the world of Slimdevices. The result was always failure (even with Michael Herger's SlimCD). Setting up Linux and maintaining it is not a process without a certain time-cost. Anyway it's daft thing to have to run a minority OS solely to service one consumer-orientated software package.

Anyway. Thanks for your help. MC -- ModelCitizen Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
