m_serv is a remaster of Puppylinux 4.10 made by Barry Kauler (http://www.puppylinux.com). Base work was done with Puppy unleashed 4.10 (http://www.puppylinux.com/development/p ... eashed.htm) using the 2.6.21.7 kernel.
m_servs main-goal is to serve music to an upnp-music-client (internet-radio) or an mpd-client-app running on (the same or) another computer.
m_serv is very basic. as serving music does not require bling, there is no. So there is are no X and no X-related-wizards. You will have to configure everything from commandline.
The iso-size is ~39 mb at the moment. This is ok for me, as the result is a 'relatively normal' (Puppy-)Linux. But maybe i will squeeze it a little more.
m_serv is made by me aragon (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/profil ... ile&u=8192). It does only reflect my personal needs and i did not plan to extend it (yet).
If you find bugs, or have ideas how to improve or slim it down, your proposals are very welcome.
Why m_serv
Short:
I was looking for a slight solution to stream my local music to my Terratec internet-radio. As i'm a puppy addict ...
Long:
As i do have more than one computer, a home network, an internet radio plugged to my hifi and a lot of mp3-files, i wanted to listen to my mp3-files with my hifi. So i need to serve my music to my internet-radio.
Because this could be done with 'ancient' hardware and without any bling, i decided to build a basic puppy.
I've also included some more (base) audio-apps, so usage-spectrum is a little wider.
So what do we have now?
We have an puppy without X with
* fuppes as upnp-server
* mpd as another music-server
* elinks as browser
* nano as editor
* MusicOnConsole as music-player
* ncmpc as local mpd-client
* mc as filemanager
* screen as terminal-multiplexer
* shell-fm as last-fm-player
* djmount as upnp-stream-mounter
* ...
So you might use m_serv as a music-server or a (basic) musicplayer/jukebox.
If you want to use m_serv to stream your music to another computer within your network, you might use mpd (to use with an mpd-client) or fuppes + djmount (on the second computer) which picks up the stream from fuppes. For your convenience, i included a pet of djmount in the iso (dir /additions) to use on the second computer.
