What's performance on the web interface using a Fit-PC? I used to run
SlimServer on a dual-processor 533MHz Power Mac G4 and thought the
performance was abysmal. It improved significantly moving the
installation over to a 1.5GHz dual-core Mac mini. Obviously this system
could be put to use as a

Responsiveness, time to search for artists, etc..
I find the Fit-PC performance to be fine on the web interface.
Now my library is only about 4000 songs, so that may be why it's quite
snappy.

Another thing to bear in mind is that transcoding is a heavy user of
CPU cycles. However, if you play a format that your Squeezeboxes or
other players can decode natively (mp3, flac, wav, ogg), you can get
away with a pretty modest CPU. Usually :)

I am running SlimCD, which is derived from Damn Small Linux on a machine
with 256 MBytes of RAM and 1 Gbyte of IDE Flash. That works quite well.
The music library sits on an external SeaGate 750 GByte HDD. I bought
the computer here:

I use the Linutop as a NAS, with two USB drives attached. I have a
vanilla Debian installation on it (see

Looks marginal but it would be better than a NAS because the OS is
automatically open.
It would run even faster with Ubuntu Server on it, or a stripped-down
Linux distro like DSL.

That is a very similar spec to a Thecus N5200 NAS box, and that has the
advantage of being a 5 drive NAS as well.
From the fit-PC forums, someone is using one with an external HD and XP
Pro (I'm not sure exactly why). S/he claims to be running three
squeezeboxes and a transporter.
