I'm not going to change distributions. I actually use many - Fedora is what I use for my desktop because I like the Fedora philosophy - and it is a good solid distribution. Debian is great for boxes without X11 - Mandrake is good if you like KDE - SuSE is a good distribution if you like KDE - I'm not going to change distributions. Installing SlimServer isn't a problem for me, and as I stated earlier in this discussion - ogg support in the firmware doesn't matter personally to me, I don't use ogg at the moment anyway. But it still would be a good thing for users if it was supported in the squeezebox. Changing the firmware in the squeezebox is a lot easier than asking a bunch of users to change their music encoding and install unsupported third software (lame) in order to get lossy streaming to a squeezebox. -- http://mpeters.us/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
