Im considering updating my server software from 7.3.2 to either the latest stable build (7.5) or 7.6. My only reason is to accommodate getting a squeezebox touch, and the only reason I want a touch is to get better sound (I currently have a squeezebox 2: I will use the remote exclusively so the touch screen has no appeal for me). My concern is that my MSI Wind barebones with a single core atom processor running Fedora 10 might be overburdened by the newer software. Any thoughts on this? (My current system works perfectly, and the CPU works at less than 15 percent capacity while serving music.)
Also, I was a complete linux novice when I set up this system in February 2009. My system has worked flawlessly since then, so Ive had no linux practice since then. I dont recall how I installed squeezecenter at the time, and I dont know if the install files are still on my hard drive in the event that 7.5 (or 7.6) doesnt work out for me and I want to roll back to my previous setup. Where would I find them? When I log into my MSI machine remotely from my windows machine, squeezecenter is not listed as an application despite the fact that it is serving music. (I assume it is version 7.3.2 because that is what is on my VISTA machine.) I do see a squeezecenter startup service when I go to Administration>Services. But I see no way to find the version of the software that is installed. So, to sum up, I have three questions: 1. Will 7.5 (or 7.6) likely overburden my computer? 2. Should I go with 7.5 or 7.6. The beta forum suggests 7.6 is pretty safe. 3. If I did a standard install of version 7.3.2 in February 2009, would the setup files be on my hard drive now and, if so, where would they be? (I did attempt to look in var/rpm directory, but I got an error indicating a problem with my remote hookupto look there, I will have to attach a monitor and log in directly.) Thanks in advance for your help.
