not likely possible, as the ML plugin for slimserver accesses the DB via a COM object installed by Moodlogic on a Windows PC. This type of object is windows only. The format of the ML database is simply MS Access with a very easily obtained password (it's plain text in the slimserver code).

I have slimserver running now on Infrant NAS NV. It has been rather dissapointing with a 350GB mp3 database but at least now my data is safe. I have updated to the latest beta firmware to get the latest slim server. this helps a bit. i have also ordered a 1GB memory module to speed it up to

I am running GigE w/ Jumbo packets to a ReadyNAS NV. And, no, the disc accesses and transfers are not as fast as against a local drive. But they are pretty good. And better for reads than writes, R:25MB/s, W:11MB/s (read in an article in German magazine c't) And despite the potential speed
