I've found Ubuntu to be a good choice for me (having started with
Slackware 12 years ago, and used RedHat and Gentoo in the meantime)
For SqueezeCenter, I go straight to the SVN repository. It's quick and
easy to upgrade to the latest:
Code:
--------------------
/etc/init.d/slimserver stop
cd /opt/slimserver
svn up
/etc/init.d/slimserver start
--------------------
I think when SC7 is released properly, I might change to using
packages, but while it's still beta I like to be able to easily get the
most up-to-date sources. And it's easy to revert too, if something
breaks!
