Use a Linux box as an iTunes music server
Authored by: scottwat79 on Oct 17, '03 12:09:26AM

I am wondering if you can use this on OSX as well, particularly OSX server. If so what would you do about the mDNSresponder? And would you have to download the daap program? or would this all built in. Basically my set up now is that I have one large drived computer load up and auto login a user and auto run itunes to set up a share. This is a headless system in the closet out of the way and I use my iBook to access it. But I was looking at getting an xServe and didnt want it to autologin just share out a music directory and be able to do all the other stuff (SMB shares, AFP shares, Authentication, etc) anyone tried this kind of setup?

sure you can! daapd has been developed on an os x box. it has only later been made sure that it works on other platforms.
