Yes, I built my own system. It's hardly any work though - all you need is the motherboard, a stick of RAM, a HD and a case. Everything else (eg CPU, network adaptor) is built into the motherboard. In fact, when I first built it, I didn't use a HD either (I booted over the network). Just plug it into your network and you're good to go. I used a spare keyboard and monitor to set mine up. I control slimserver from my desktop PC using the web interface (very easy, and can be used from any browser eg my wife's PocketPC's Internet Explorer over wifi). This would work just fine with a Nokia N800 or equivalent. I control pretty much every other aspect of my server via ssh (using the command line). The command line's not too friendly to linux newbies though, so a better way of doing it when you're starting out would be to use vnc to log into an X session. Don't worry, it's pretty easy. As an alternative, you could get a kvm switch (which are getting pretty cheap these days). -- bukharin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bukharin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34855 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
