Question: ReadyNAS Users--where do you run Slimserver?
    
- On the ReadyNAS, using the firmware imbedded SS
- On a separate PC, using the readyNAS as the storage depot
- Both on readyNAS and a pc

I readily agree.  A smaller footprint, less cpu intensive SS made to
run on the little CPU built into the ReadyNAS.  That would be great. 
Still I think I would end up with SS on a pc.

In the meantime, I am very very happy since I moved the SS over to a
fast pc.  I use the web interface all day long  (10-12 hr days)
streaming music to my work pc and it is very brisk and now very usable.
Plus, since I have FLAC installed, I can bit limit my music down to 256
kps which steams quite nicely ( most of my music is at 320 kps MP3 and
it wouldn't stream over my work broadband connection)

All in all, I am still very happy with my ReadyNAS. I wanted a NAS
anyway, wanted to upgrade to the SBIIIs, so the combo was still a great
deal, whether I run SS on the NAS or not..
