Hey Everyone,<br><br>Thanks for the great responses. I'm new on this list and on digest mode so I will reply to everyone here:<br><br>>Nick Warrington<br>The box you recommended looks really sweet. The biggest problem I have with the NSLU2 is the ram... which the viglen box overcomes. I'll definitely think about it...<br>
<a href="http://www.viglen.co.uk/recycle/products.htm" target="_blank">http://www.viglen.co.uk/recycle/products.htm</a><br><br>The order page doesn't seem to load... or is that me? Anywhere else where I can get one? I'm in Germany now.<br>
<br>>David Watkins<br>Thanks for your input. I've got 1 laying around here now which I ran debian on. I know what you mean by they can become sluggish. Anything that hits swap is a HUGE burden... I wish I could just test it now, but I don't have the plextor convertx with me here (it's in Japan) and I have the slug with me here... Just doing some due diligence on getting it setup. Sounds like the mysql backend sucks up a lot of the slug's resources... 32MB is REALLY tight...<br>
<br>>Brian Wood (beww)<br>aaah, cool thanks for the tip. I know what you mean... nice toy, but nothing to do anything TOO serious with... again, too tight on RAM...<br><br>>Marc Randolph<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Do you need transcoding? Commercial flagging? Do you do much<br>
scheduling? Run Mythfilldatabase? Host mythweb? Server media over<br>
NFS OR Samba to watch your show while doing any of the above?<br></div>
<br>Transcoding: no.<br>Commercial flagging: no.<br>Scheduling: yes. (esp searching for title matches in listings)<br>Mythfilldatabase: yes.<br>mythweb: yes.<br>Serve media: no.<br><br>I have a feeling from some of the other responses, having the slug JUST doing the read and write of the video stream will be taxing the poor slug... then adding in some more mysql stuff and mythfilldatabase will be PRETTY heavy... so this starting to be come clearer.<br>
<br>Thanks for your response!<br>andrew<br>-- <br>andrew leung<br>
