This is my experience with this, do the following 1. Install Ubuntu 11.04 (it is a bit picky about hardware, the alternate CD seems to do much better than the base one)
2. Get all Updates, restart 3. Get Ubuntu restricted extras (it'll give you all the decoding capabilities you need) 4. Go to the Administration>Login Screen... Go "Ubuntu Classic"... as far as my experience goes (and maybe it's just because I am recreating my old experience) it makes a difference 5. If you have an external NTFS drive, Important (!): Install the NTFS Configuration Tool. Open it and let it noodle for a while. Enable read write etc. It's easy if you're patient. 6. Install SBS 7.5.4... simply click to move on when it asks you to enter a password for SQL - because you don't have to... 7. Now you'll be able to configure SBS with your SB Account and your NTFS contained music alright. It was a bit of a battle for me, but it's working alright. I *nearly* went Debian 6.0, but I am simply used to the Ubuntu interface, lazy sod that I am. :-) Hope this helps someone out there. It was easy once I simplified it, and I am working it now with the latest hardware (1155 mobo, i3 2100t processor etc). -- pablolie ...pablo Server: MiniITX build w/Intel D510MO - Ubuntu 10.04LTS - SBS 7.5.3 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet (1), Radio (1), Accuphase DP65v CD (used as DAC mostly) Amplifiers: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87719 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
