Acually if you don't need a gui, it will work quite well. I have a old emachine with a 400mhz cpu and 128MB ram, it works really well as an mp3 player. I use smbfs to connect a share from my server, and a program called randomplay in conjunction with mpg321 to play the tunes. I have ramdomplay set to not play repeats for 30 days. As you can see from the output of uptime:
Code:
uptime
00:40:42 up 12 days, 7:33, 3 users, load average: 0.20, 0.16, 0.10
I've got a ways to go before I start hearing the same music all over again.
