win2000 vs. Linux Suse 8.1
 

we're running our winamp + dsp + acf on a win2000 system. it works fine. we are thinking about to change to linux. but, it's this a good idea?

sorry , i dont like linux ..try it out , you may find it runs the server better..

A year or so ago the developers ranked the order of preference for OSes running sc_serv like this (most preferred first): Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, Windows
This of course does not take into account the stream source.

i prefer linux cause it's more stable than windows :) so...

so the files for linux are "better" ?

true, but i have running my win2000 3 weeks without reboot and problems (reboot was just because i have to change hardware).


does exist crossfaders, and all this stuff for linux? i am searching something like the SqrSoft Crossfader... winamp and the dsp plugin exist for linux, but i don't find a crossfader. . .

running a source on linux is a pain

and linux is totally different than windows

so it will take u a while to get use to

you say u have run windows 2000 for over 3 weeks with no problems

so why bother changing something that works fine as it is now

and im not slagging linux cos its what i use, but i just think ur better staying with windows if ur use to it.

the software i use to source my shoutcast server, is so basic, it basically reads a log file and streams the mp3's from a folder

its commandline app by the way

it does fade the tracks into each other and such but you dont have much control over the software

yes that's right. i have a test pc here... primary, i will test linux just for fun.

ok thanks for this tip.

can you give me some URL's ?

that's 1 reason why i'm opening this thread. i think i find better software for streaming on windows than for linux.

goto shoutcast.com and go to downloads

click i wanna be a dj

download sc_trans

that will act as a source for winamp :P

u can also use the linux equivalent of winamp, its called xmms

http://www.xmms.org there is a plugin for xmms in the tadio toolbox sticky thread (i think)

first, i missunderstand you, but now it's allright. thanks man :)
