I plan on using this box as a general-purpose server: Samba, FTP or SFTP for remote access, possibly NFS--with all the cheap terabytes of storage I can throw its way at a given time. At some point the web server may find itself running (though of course I don't run services I'm not using at the moment). Also, at some point I probably want Internet access to my music collection. Thanks for the reply, though. I have all the time in the world. The machine on which I'm attempting to install this SS is my main desktop machine, which also has SS running under Windows XP, working fine. When WXP is not booted Squeezebox goes to sleep. The idea is to have a permanent, always-on server. I'm practicing on my main machine so it doesn't take me half a year to build the server. When you get around to posting those detailed instructions it will be much appreciated. -- Wotan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wotan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13189 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38415 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
