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.

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 nightly’s 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. Nightly’s often work well only on the platform that they are
developed on/for.
