Arch is no more/less bleeding edge than the CS (based on Fedora) was. (I don't recall anyone complaining that CS was so bleeding edge that it kept falling over.) Bleeding edge needs to be put into context. It still means stable, released packages, not Alpha/Beta software. And put into context, from a Linux point of view, anything ARM flavoured could be considered bleeding edge anyway compared to "classic" desktop i686/x86_64. There are several things to like, not least the rolling release model and like Fedora, their ethos is to make as few downstream "changes" as possible from the upstream software releases. Not that my opinion matters, but I think Adrian has made a smart choice by basing on Arch and the way he is going about distributing the software which is specific to making an LMS compatible music player. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
