I've been running various versions of Debian without the GUI as my
Squeezebox Server for the last few years now, and it's perfect for what
I want it to do, which is just to serve up music reliably and run my
library management tasks via cron jobs.

You could keep some of the GUI around and only login if you need it. X

Try Xubuntu, it uses the xfce user interface that is very light weight
and not resource heavy. Great for "older" PCs.

Just did this a few days ago.
As you mentioned Debian, you can just use one of their "standard" live

are named after the GUI they employ (XFCE, Gnome etc)

it's fairly easy. you just have to get comfortable with the cli.

install webmin which will allow you to use a web based interface
Hi ya!
In the old days you used to install linux then add X-windows and set up

yep same one.
you're sort of right. if you have a look at the ports
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=squeezeboxserver&stype=all

to play with it at the moment as i got it up and running by downgrading
mysql.
