I have something similar, although not quite so high-spec: a VIA EPIA V8000 (800Mhz CPU) in a very similar-looking case -- front usb, etc.
It's running Debian Linux, with a just-upgraded 2.6. kernel. Headless -- although it does have TV out which is handy if you need to know what it is doing when it boots. Since I don't have a Squeezebox, I have SoftSqueeze running on it, meaning that it is its own "client": once SlimServer starts up, it runs SoftSqueeze and sets a RandomMix to get the music flowing. Outputs to a receiver. Indeed, I only just got it set up how I want it at the weekend, since I finally went the route of separate USB Audio for proper digital out: I wasn't happy with the Epia V8000's supposedly-digital coaxial out. Didn't sound at all good. The Terratec Aureon USB mkII I have now got is fine. I have a few more 'usability' adjustments to make, since my gf is eager to give it a go but she'd rather not SSH in and do stuff like shutdown or reboot manually ;-) So I need to install a web-based admin and get the system to signal it's shutdown properly. Plus the Random Mix stuff needs some tweaking.. Generally working really well though! Now all I need to do is re-rip my CDs into FLAC, and buy another hard drive at some point :=) Ed -- nalfeshnee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nalfeshnee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5523 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23933 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
