You will be underutilizing this machine if you load up Ubuntu and use it only as a server. As you've already noticed yourself, running SC will barely put a load on the CPU.
To run dbpoweramp on the machine once you load Ubuntu, you will have to run Wine (a Linux Windows emulator). I recall reading that this has been made to work. You might be better off getting a cheap PC with 1GB of RAM and a P4 or something, putting a good amount of disc storage in it (1 TB drives are cheap these days), and loading Ubuntu on it. Then you could continue to use your super 4 Core machine to perform zippy transcodes as needed. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
