It might, but not enough to notice. Mostly it waits on its socket for an incomming command, and when you are not sending it commands, its doing nothing. We are talking Linux/Unix here, not some other OS that is popular but has idiotic memory management. I run my SqeezeCenter/Slimserver/SqueezeBoxServer on an ancient PC that is in my basement. It doesn't get touched for weeks at a time. My daughter gave up on it as being "too slow" something like five years ago. I run backup versions of DHCP and DNS for my house, and samba to share files with the Windows machines in the house. But mostly I ignore it. For me, the hassle of doing anything to the box overwhelms my desire to forget that its there. I had an earlier one, that I forgot so long that the CPU fans filled with fur balls and stopped, which burning out the CPUs. Otherwise, I'd probably still be running on that last century P3-700 or maybe it was a P3-500. Who can remember. I think the current SqueezeBoxServer was some sort of mid-one-plus GHZ AMD, whatever was fairly cheap six years ago.... There are folks running SqueezeBoxServer on shiva plugs, and fan-less VIA cpus that are under a gigahertz. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
