Well, I'm holding off (at least for now) on building a new kernel. Yesterday I configured the NIC, installed/configured Samba, and copied all of my WAVE and CUE files over.
This morning I installed/configured SlimServer, and then ran BastilleInteractive to harden the box. The only gotchas I ran into where that you can't specify MTU size in /etc/network/interfaces when using DHCP. (I added 'pre-up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE mtu 9014' instead, which worked fine). Also, initially I did not add 'deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main' to the /etc/apt/sources.list, even though it *CLEARLY* tells you to do so at the top of the DebianPackage page on this site..... :-) So, I now have a working Linux SlimServer - thanks for all the help ! Everything seems to check out fine. The Slimserver Version info is: SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Debian - EN - iso-8859-1 Perl Version: 5.8.8 i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch1 I ran xfs_fsr against the volume where the rips are located, and it took seconds, so presumably no fragmantation. (I loathe having my precious WAVE files fragmented !!!). Well, I must say IMHO Debian is great ! I love apt, and (shock, horror) there are file systems other than NTFS ! I also think that the music sounds better on Linux, or maybe it was the cryogenically treated SATA cables I used ;-) -- DLloyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DLloyd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9063 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39436 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
