My WHSv1 server also houses my music library and for a while it was the LMS Server. But, mine is an HP MediaSmart and as the library grew it became a little less capable platform to be the LMS server - especially during pc backups or library rescans. So like someone else mentioned, it can still host the files while letting another computer run the LMS Server. Presently, that is on another traditional computer, but the Wandboard has shown it is more than capable of being the LMS Server but at lower power and no noise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rmac321's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
