The Ubuntu server is not significantly different from the Ubuntu Desktop, except it defaults to not supporting GUI/X-windows. I always recommend installing the GUI to make debugging the setup easier, the amount of disk space difference is irrelevant, especially on a box that will have thousands of CDs worth of music. You can always turn off the GUI once you have it all working perfectly. But if you check the forum archives, you will see that this is a FAQ, frequently asked question and its also frequently answered. So while I should tell you to just search the forum for the answer, here is the real, and only important answer: Run what your buddy uses. The buddy you can buy a beer for in exchange for help getting started. It makes no difference, zero, what your buddy uses, anything will work. Just do what your buddy does, and buy him/her a beer. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
