Choice of basic LInux OS for LMS ? Any preference ?
I want to avoid: Unsuported perl versions. Unsolved dependencies that needs me to install exotic stuff thats not in any repo add symlinks compile stuff etc hunt down cpan and extra perl thingys... Bad support for popular plugins. SSL problems , i had to solve that for my current OS . Good to have : Good media codec support . Firewall in Linux that you actually understands how to configure . Excellent package system . Fast, reasonably lean on resources not bloated ,but not as bare bones that nothing works . Good forums and genral support. Possibly a ligthweigth desktop unless i chose to have it headless as usual. If headless without GUI and only a web-UI for admin make it very capable eb-UI that actually works and lets you fix stuff (the firewall tool in my current distro does not really work ) Undecided if i want it to have a desktop or not . My current headless Linux box is fast and lean and works nice with just 1gb of ram. ..But to adjust every mundane thing there is a web-UI or SSH that’s it (it's an obscure os, ClearOS ) But could be cool to learn how use remote desktops etc in linux. But a simple linux server with a good web admin tool is also ok. The thing will run in a VM on a NUC5i5RYH with ESXi its i5 with 32GB of ram (intention is to learn something about running VM's with VM vare ESXi) The VM will be on an internal fast M2 256GB SSD the machine has another 2,5" 1TB SSD. ON the same Host I will have a NAS running as a VM. I assume you guys and gals now more than me and appreciate good suggestions . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
