I'm completely new to the whole Squeezebox arena. I learnt about SB a few weeks ago and now have a SB2 on order in the UK from multitaskcomputing.co.uk. In the meantime, I've put together a Debian/testing box with a large hard disk and have started ripping my entire cd collection to FLAC using EAC. I'm running SlimServer 6.01 on the server and am using SoftSqueeze on my pc. I've no idea when my SB2 will arrive so, to steady my impatience, have started reading this forum. I've therefore started reading all sorts of comments saying bad things about SlimServer 6.0, and have also found comments saying that SB2 will likely have hardware issues that will be resolved (in the hardware, not the firmware) in future versions. It seems that I've basically bought a beta-release hardware product which I'll be running with a beta-release server. Obviously, this worries me quite a lot! Are these things really true? Should I cancel my SB2 order immediately and wait 6 months (or buy something else)? I'm obviously hoping that this isn't the case. Please reassure a new member of the flock!
As an aside, does anyone know what the situation with buying an SB2 in the UK is? They seem to be in rather short supply!
Thanks,
Max Spicer
