Been using SBs about 2.5 years (1 SB3, 2 SB2s, 2 duets) Listening:fiddling ratio is roughly 50:1, but it varies from 10:1 to 200:1.
Hardly any of my fiddling is to fix problems. It usually has to do with either (a) installing beta versions of SC, especially during the beta test period for the Duet, or (b) hurdles related to my unorthodox hacked Buffalo LinkStation servers, which often need fiddling to build certain perl modules (one has a PowerPC processor, the other an ARM processor, and each present their own challenges). Of course, fiddling because of (b) is amplified by the bleeding-edge changes related to (a)! I hardly fiddled at all during the year or so between when I got 6.5 beta running on the LinkStation and when I had to sort out installing 7.0 beta on the LinkStation to test the Controller. But during the Controller test period I was fiddling all the time. And somewhere along the way I picked up the habit of switching over to SN while I'm tinkering so that I can listen and fiddle at the same time (build-perl-modules.pl takes a long time to run on those NASs). That said, I'm looking forward to retiring the LinkStations and using a more conventional processor so that upgrades and testing require even less fiddling. It's much easier with a standard x86 cpu. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48751 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
