But please be aware the above description was posted more than a year ago. At that time Slimserver was version 6.4, based on the SQLlite database. Now we have Squeezecenter 7, based on MySQL. I have not tried the latest setup, and in the meantime the old (6.4) codebase is no longer available. So please use what I wrote as a general guide, keeping in mind the devil is in the details. Especially I am not sure the tiny amount of RAM present on the NSLU2 is enough to run the latest Squeezecenter.<BR/><BR/>Myself I currently run Squeezecenter on the Infrant / Netgear ReadyNAS box, but it comes preloaded so no extra work is needed.<BR/><BR/>HTH :)Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31931981.post-15404969117255165812008-03-24T22:25:00.000+01:002008-03-24T22:25:00.000+01:00Hi<BR/><BR/>Just a quick question ...<BR/><BR/>I have the squeezebox and was looking for a configuration to set up my Seagate Freeagent Pro USB Storage as a NAS when I stumbled upon your page. I want to do exactly as you mention in your blog with the NSLU2. You said this will work with any IDE? .. Will this work with my USB storage device?<BR/><BR/>Many thanks<BR/>SteveStevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31931981.post-1208478518570693342007-11-14T06:51:00.000+01:002007-11-14T06:51:00.000+01:00Yes, Infrant platform seems to be more expandable... both hardware - wise (up to 4 drives -> 4TB in total) and software - wise - more dedicated plugins (like replication jobs -> I intend to setup two synchronized sites). They also used to partner with Slimdevices, so I believe the Squeezebox setup should be more streamlined as well (actually Slimserver comes preloaded on Infrant boxes).Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31931981.post-54654145261842643912007-11-14T02:10:00.000+01:002007-11-14T02:10:00.000+01:00Looking forward to that blog then!<BR/><BR/>Can you also tell us why you picked the Infrant over, say, a LinkStation?jan van mourikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01002917626652330373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31931981.post-53525415852849121932007-11-13T16:20:00.000+01:002007-11-13T16:20:00.000+01:00Hi, unfortunately not...<BR/><BR/>It worked nice, but then I wanted to upgrade the disk drive and when tried to follow up the same procedure found out SlimServer had moved from SQLlite to MySQL and this setup no longer compiled on the Slug... Recently however I have checked the <A HREF="http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Applications/SlimServer" REL="nofollow">NSLU2-Linux</A> pages and they have an update, so it should be fixed now...<BR/><BR/>Personally I am now moving towards the big - iron home server appliance, the Infrant ReadyNAS. Plan to post several blog entries on that soon...Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31931981.post-34052293913340149462007-11-13T14:31:00.000+01:002007-11-13T14:31:00.000+01:00Very nice!
