Hi, Here's what my setup has been until my Western Digital 500gb NetCenter failed:
Wired ethernet Transporter to router, wired ethernet laptop to router, wired ethernet NetCenter to router. SlimServer installed on laptop. Worked great. 99% of the time I would use SqueezeCenter gui on the laptop to control the Transporter. I liked selecting from my music library on the laptop that way. Now I need another store for my music library and am considering some sort of headless solution, such as a dedicated pc as a server running linux or xp or windows home server .. whatever works. Not another NetCenter, something with 2 1TB drives with some sort of backup from 1 drive to another, so I never (?) again have to rebuild my music library. I would prefer that this dedicated server not only serve .flacs but also have SlimServer installed so music library rescans would run on this box. But it seems to me I won't be able to run the SqueezeCenter gui on a pc other than the server .. say my laptop as before .. in order to control SlimServer on the server. Unless I use some sort of remote pc controller software, such as PcAnywhere. Which would then rule out linux and possibly whs. Or I could connect to the server music library as a network drive, but I'd rather not. Only want the server to handle the music library. Have I got this right? Alternatives?
