+SlimServer (network music player)
+
+Slim Devices is a powerful and free Open Source application that will
+power any Squeezebox or Transporter but also any software MP3 player 
+on your network.
+
+You will need to create a "slimserver" user on the system prior to
+installing this package - if the user is not present, then the 
+post-install script will print and error and exit.
+
+If you want SlimServer to start at boot, you will need to make the 
+/etc/rc.d/rc.slimserver file executable and add the following to 
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.slimserver ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.slimserver start
+ fi
+
+To setup your SlimServer, open your web browser on the system you installed
+SlimServer on and go to http://localhost:9000 to access the web interface.
+To tell SlimServer where your music is stored, click the "Server Settings"
+link on the left.  You will find a "Music Folder" section to enter the path.
+
+By default, SlimServer will let anyone connect and stream music.  You may
+want to check out the Security section and setup a username and password.
+
+You have to register your player with SlimServer before you can start
+playing music.  To do that, open the URL http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3
+in your music player.  After that you can control everything via the web
+interface.  You can down sample the bit rate in the player specific audio
+settings.
+
+For more setup info check out the Help section at the bottom of the left
+hand panel.  I'll leave the rest for you to explore on your own.  Enjoy!
