Sorry to hear about your trouble. For a long time now, I just use
Subversion to check out the publicly available source and run 100% as a
user I created for this purpose -- my init script uses 'su' to make sure
nothing really runs as root. On i386 and x86_64 Linux this has worked
fine. Once I had trouble with a binary app being compiled against newer
shared libs, but Logitech staff resolved that problem very quickly when
informed about it. Personally I appreciate Logitech bundling CPAN code
with SqueezeCenter -- saves me the trouble of tracking down the
Ubuntu/Debian package name or, much worse, dealing with -MCPAN -e shell
nonsense.

That's nice of you to put together a Wiki page. I'm glad you seem to
have it all working at last.
