I was running fuppes on a slug for years however I found that for my quite large
mp3 collection it struggles for memory. I'm now running it on an Iomega iConnect
which works somewhat better. It isn't that well set up to run as a background
process but I've hacked together an init script that I use to run it. I haven't
modified the setup in years so I am running svn version 675 built with

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc

#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: fuppes

# Short-Description: Multithreaded DAAP music server
# Description: mt-daapd, a.k.a. Firefly Media Server, is what
# most people will understand to be an iTunes share
# server. It uses the DAAP protocol, as iTunes does,
# and supports streaming MP3 and AAC natively. It can
# make use of a number of conversion methods to expose
# Ogg and FLAC files too.
