Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
Also consider max2play as OS for the Raspberry Pi. Everything you need is readily available. Compared to Picoreplayer the configuration web-interface is much better (and responsive). In my setup max2play was more reliable as LMS server on a Pi. Picoreplayer however was more reliable as Squeezelite player. There is a modest licence fee for max2play, but its easily worth it in my opinion.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
Ok one last question ;-) If I'm going with a SSD should I get an external USB drive and find a case to house both or get an expansion board (Geekworm X820?) and use a sata SSD? which I guess would limit me to the Geekworm case.

If so do the cp -RP command will restore settings. And if you got it running use the backup options. Now you can do and try anything with LMS. With restore you always restore you're settings.
