No, this isn't true. I don't think the Linux installation page says or implies this. Were you looking at a very old forum post?

You can run multiple instances on Linux by installing them in different directories and setting different values for http.port, ohnet.port and displayName. If you enable both instances for autostart using minimserver/bin/setup, they will both be started when you boot the system. I will update the Linux install page to clarify this.

minimserver is running on a (normally) headless system, and is started at boot time. I don't really need to run one with groups and one without groups at the same time. Is there some way I could decide which I wanted to switch to dynamically and remotely, having started one at boot time?

I get so close to my ideal solution, but somehow there's always a wrinkle Smile

You will need to run both instances all the time and use your UPnP control point to switch between them. Unless your Linux machine is very short of RAM, this shouldn't cause any problems.
