I'm considering using my old Windows 7 laptop to run iTunes until I can get something better and can trial the new set up before taking the plunge and buying a mac mini or iMac as a desktop and means of serving iTunes around the house.
My question is whether W7 is the best software. I seem to recall that Linux can't run iTunes - is that the case?
With my laptop running iTunes, I'll then buy an ATV (after the upcoming Apple event in case the ATV is upgraded).
Any advice/alternative solutions would be appreciated. I had thought of plugging my NAS into the laptop as well but am not sure the wifi connection from my MBA will be good enough for Time Machine backups.
