mcr, re your questions about this pc. From the spec sheet at newegg.com: 1) it has at least 4 USB ports on the back, so if your drive is USB, no problem
2) if all it's doing is serving music I would think that CPU and 2GB would be fine. 1GB may work, but why bother when you're talking maybe $10 tops. If you're thinking Windows then definitely go 2GB. 3) that has gotten to be a religious question around here. my god says "no" 4) "safe version of Windows" is an oxymoron, but use whatever you're comfortable with. Usually Linux is better at server applications that you just want to run without a lot of intervention. And Linux usually makes better use of lower end hardware, especially because you don't have to run a gui. Although maybe WHS is comparable in this regard, I really don't know. Also, who wants to shell out $100, or even $50, for a Windows license when Linux is free? -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it, and it's '100% wind powered' (http://www.cleancurrents.com/).
