You don't want much, huh? :) I'm a fan of dpkg and apt-get myself, so I generally suggest a debian/Ubuntu variant. You will never get away from Perl version creep however. Ubuntu has a server version, and the repos are stuffed full of good stuff so there's little messing about required. I'd go that way. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs. No less than 3x 24/44k albums.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106707 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
