Well, there we go, I suppose I can use that 486 as my Linux
debut/experimentation box...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding.  CDJ isn't able to connect to Slinke-server
(http://www.insflug.org/slink/software/unix/slinkeserver.php3) is it?

I'm very excited about using Linux to control my slinke and changers,
but I don't see being able to give up CDJ any time soon, but to be
fair, I must say that haven't yet checked out the Linux juke-box
programs yet.  I've just gotten stuff programmed so that a small remote
(I've got 10 of them) can be used in any of several rooms and "do the
right thing."  That is, control the volume on the correct amp, control
the playlist in some rooms, vcr in others, etc.  I'd be happy to dump
Windoze, but not CDJ.
