there's nothing concise and "good" out there.  There the kurobox forums
where you can go and read for hours about the different distros that
you can put on this box and still not have a good idea of what to do. 
As someone who knows a bit about linux, I was torn between three
different paths when I rebuilt my kurobox.  There are some howtos for
simple tasks, but nothing that guides you from opening the box to
having it all configured like you'd like.  

Honestly, the original Kuro is on the ragged edge of being powerful
enough for the squeezebox.  If you have room, you may want to consider
a barebones normal sized PC, you'll have an easier time of it I
suspect.  I already had the kuro, and have been using it for backups so
it was a no-brainer to use it for serving FLAC's.  But if I had nothing,
I'd build a normal PC into a little linux server and stick it beside the
furnace.  It may be cheaper in the long run too, maybe one of those
ghetto Dell $299 jobbies?
