Re: Can't get usb speakers to work

Don't forget to reboot (shutdown and remove power - pause - power on) to verify that the volume setting is retained after restart. all this because RPi doesn't have a visual volume meter haha In Raspbian you can add the Speaker Icon to the LXDE Task Bar http://www.linuceum.com/Distros/osDesktopConf...

Re: DLNA serwer - 3 ideas for storage - which way to choose?

Flash Media has a read/write life and would therefore use a USB 2.5" Hard Disk Drive, it is even
feasible to move the Operating Sytem to the hard drive, just leaving the Boot partition on the miniSD Card.
