I'm looking at going to a Linux based slimserver as well. I'm just in the experimenting stage, and at this point I plan to install Linux in a virtual machine running in vmware fusion on my imac. This is going to be a dedicated vm that is only going to run slimserver, music ip, and probably samba so that I can get music onto the machine. This machine will not be used for ripping or any other function besides slimserver and music ip. Because of this I want a super small footprint OS if possible. I don't need any desktop apps, and I may not even want a GUI at all, although I might want a web browser. I'm also fairly inexperienced with linux. I know my way around the command line, and can edit (but not create) scripts. I've never installed Linux before. I want to stick with something Debian based since that seems to be the best supported Linux for slimserver. So based on that, what would be an appropriate distro to use. So far XUNBUNTU looks the best, but even it includes desktop apps that I would never use. Any other suggestions?
