I should have been clear: windows codecs. I use squeeze for critical (lossless ripped) as well as casual listening (streams of various formats). I am trying to get a feel for what streams might not work on a non-Microsoft platform. street_samurai Wrote: > Running Slimserver on Debian has been a dream I have a fondness for Debian, APT is a joy to work with. My only complaint is the glacial pace that Debian stable moves at. (I understand wanting a stable platform to be stable - but there is stable, and there is fossilized). I have two boxes running Debian Woody that I have not gotten around to upgrading to Sarge, mainly because for all of the important software on them, I gave up on the Debian packages and built from source more recent versions. Slimserver looks like the kind of software that I will keep updated to the bleeding edge. New features in both the software and the embedded firmware of recent nightlys are useful to me, and so a packaged version is not desirable. It looks like Slimserver will be easy to update as the only dependencies are perl modules. This is my main reason for my original posting question about what the best distro might be. Nightlys often work well only on the platform that they are developed on/for. -- usualsuspects _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
