I've been using Ubuntu Server on my headless HP Microserver for some years and am very happy with it. A few weeks ago I did a clean install of Ubuntu Server (because I messed up an upgrade) and it was pretty straightforward. >From memory, the only things I did afterwards (apart from installing LMS) were to set a fixed IP address for the server, installed Webmin (so I could access it from a Windows PC) and installed smartmontools.

I would reccommend a minimal install whichever distro you choose as the Tranquil will probably be quite light on RAM The SSD option would be a good idea as you have a relatively small collection and a 250GB SSD is fairly cheap I would suggest you use the HDD to start with to make sure everything works OK before spending on a SSD Good Luck Jeff *Players:* SliMP3,Squeezebox3 x3,Receiver,SqueezeLite-X,PiCorePlayer x3 *Server:* LMS Version: Latest Nightly on Centos 7.5 VM on ESXi 6.5.0U2 on Dell T320 *Plugins:* AutoRescan/BBCiPlayer/PowerSave/PowerSwitchIII/Squeezecloud/Spotty/Player Groups *Remotes:* iPeng9/Orangesqueeze/PC/Jivelite/SqueezeLite-X *Music:* 522GB,1660 albums with 23087 songs by 5204 artists mostly FLACs *Want a webapp ?* See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104305-Webapp-for-LMS Jeff07971's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110583 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

According to my web search the T7 has an Atom D510 processor which according to Intel is 64 bit (https://ark.intel.com/content/www/de/de/ark/products/43098/intel-atom-processor-d510-1m-cache-1-66-ghz.html). If the T7 boots from USB, that would probably be the easiest way. Fitting an SSD inside the HD slot shouldn't be an issue. I don't know whether SSDs still come with an adapter frame for this purpose by default nowadays but even if they don't these should be available separately.

I have the music stored on external drives actually, not the T7 - I never got around to utilising it. Upgrading to an SSD sounds spart if I can do it afforadbly! The internal storage of the T7 is 500GB SATA (Optional 4x USB HDD ports, here's the 7 spec https://pasteboard.co/Ig17NQb.png), no DVD/CD. I'm unsure about fitting a SSD in the HDD place... boardtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16085 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110583 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Have you tried simply powering it up and checking to see if it still works?

[slim] Returning squeezeboxer looking for server advice
4 years ago I packed up my Tranquil pc T7 which ran WHS and I used for a Squeezebox server for an original sqeezebox and a boom. I loved it for accessing the BBC, Deezer and Soma radio. We moved house and the kit is still boxed up now! _But_ we now have finally completed the (smart) wiring in our house and I am looking to get my squeezeboxes going again! I am well aware of Squeezebox being terminated a long time ago but delighted that the community is ongoing! I am assuming (and praying( I will be able to access Deezer, Soma and 6music! Probably no one is using WHS! It's old! Current fanless solutions are sweet but expensive, e.g. https://tranquilpcshop.co.uk/rugged-intel-core-mini-pc/ What can people recommend for a cheap and reliable Squuezebox server? boardtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16085 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110583 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
