I'm just finishing my installation of the 1.86 SlimCD on a nano-ITX Damn Small Machine (DSM) from the DSL folks (thanks to Ron F for pointing it out).
The DSM comes with an 800mhz CPU and just 256MB memory. I boot it from the first partition on a 1GB pen drive and back up my configuration to the second partition on the same drive. My small music collection (3500+ songs, mostly FLAC, some AAC) lives on a network drive. The SS scanner seems to work about 3 times faster on the DSM than my 1.8GHZ XP desktop which is pretty impressive - both systems use SMB so it's a direct comparison. The web interface is much more responsive on the DSM, especially when painting cover art. At the moment I have just 2 outstanding problems. OK, one question and one nit. 1. On the player display of the web interface I see, for example: Now playing 6 of 7 [zap]: >From Now On (6:19) (125kbps CBR) Artist [x] Supertramp itemobj.album.idAlbum [x] <<<<< should be just Album Even in the Quietest Moments (1977) which is not making me lose any sleep. 2. I'm looking for an elegant way to set the dsl username password on a reboot. I suppose backing up the /etc/shadow file would work, but that feels like a sledgehammer approach. For those who might be interested, I've attached a photo of the DSM as it's set up at the moment for testing - a 17" monitor in the background and a 12" laptop in the foreground. The video, mouse and keyboard connections will disappear from the right side when it moves to its final resting place. The pen drive is sticking out the left side.
