I definitely wouldn't want to push you into something you're not comfortable with, but you don't really need to know Linux to install slimserver on a KuroBox, or especially on a LinkStation (where the trail is already well-blazed). Several people who don't know Linux have succeeded at installing and running slimserver. In my case (with a LinkStation), my unix experience wasn't essential, although it did certainly raise the comfort level at a few points.
But you do definitely need to know how to follow instructions carefully, and to remain calm and not go nuts on the keyboard if something doesn't work on the first go. If that still seems off-putting, consider Sheldon's advice about getting a cheap Dell that you can stash away somewhere to serve your music files. And though he mentioned using it as a linux server, you could use Windows on it instead. But if you really don't want to have a computer running to play music, then Squeezebox might not be the solution for you. Of course, there is SqueezeNetwork for internet radio, but I presume you want to play your music as well. Doing that without a computer? Seems like you're left with: 1) playing CDs, 2) using an iPod or other portable player with external speakers, or 3) investing big bucks in one of the systems from Olive (www.olive.us). But before you do that, search this forum for some pretty damning experiences other users have had with Olive systems. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22900 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
