Hello eddie I'm using ubuntu server and it's good because it has a very large repository as standard and includes the likes of mplayer (for the alien bbc plugin). Here are some pages to get you started.
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-lamp-server-setup.html (you don't need to do the full lamp thing but it's clear!) http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Servers http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/Installing_Raid_1_on_Existing_Ubuntu_Server in case you want to do the raid thing And then it's just a case of copying your music over with rsync and adding the unstable squeezecenter repository as detailed here http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?DebianPackage A really good way of working on a headless server is to login from a terminal on another pc using ssh, and also using konqueror to display a folder structure. So if your server is ip address 192.168.0.21 for example and your user on the server is eddie - in a terminal type ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the konqueror address bar type fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED] this will then give you a windows like folder structure so you can make folders, drag, copy etc. The combination of the 2 windows is really good.
