Yes, I do that today. Though for iTunes use it's a good idea to put a delay in the auto start of iTunes to make sure the share is completely ready. What I meant about reliable, and didn't explain very well, is that iTunes over NAS seems to be slow and klunky according to what I've read on the net. Ripping and importing a CD, for example, can take FOREVER. And syncing content to say an iPhone from iTunes running off a NAS can be verrrrrry slow too. So I was curious how the OP got around this or if he even saw any of it.
Curious, just how do you use NAS to feed an iTunes library? I haven't figured out how to elegantly and reliably do this. I've considered using an AFP share and a symbolic link from the local drive to point to the AFP share, but that doesn't seem totally reliable across reboots. I've also considered setting up an iSCSI initiator on the Mini and then mount iSCSI volumes from a NAS server but that also doesn't seem terribly reliable. This has to be reliable enough that when I'm traveling my wife has no problem getting to videos for the 3 year old:-). Please share your setup. Thanks!
2. The graduate school at Franklin University in Columbus Ohio does. I've had to use turnitin.com for my MBA courses. I don't like it for a variety of reasons, but it's not a battle I've deemed important enough to fight.
If you don't mind buying a commercial product, try HP's openmail. It supports the Outlook calendaring most people need on top of straight email. Openmail is pretty much a total replacement for Exchange.
Well, you did say workstation, but since this thread is about servers, I'll make a polite correction. The new servers from HP (N-class for example) have several console options built in, including a telnet console. You can telnet in directly to the service processor and manipulate the box as if you had a hardwired serial console. It is password protected for access to the service processor. To access the OS once the system is running, you also have to log in to a valid user account. This may be a little offtopic, but there is at least one vendor (and probably others) doing network consoles.
What if had a section devoted to public comment about companies that Slashdotters do buisiness with? Something along the lines of Angie's List but for online buisinesses. If such sites exist, post their URLs here. At the minimum, perhaps Slashdot could make some clearly seen links to such sites if they choose not to host such a forum themselves.
Linus has been saying for quite a while he sees Linux being big in embedded computing systems and appliances. If these rumors about Transmeta releasing a low-power chip are true, could this chip be the killer chip for embedded designs running Linux?

1. I'm not sure why you think that's pertinent

Just a thought for yah, perhaps he was referring to camping in a campground and going for day hikes.
