I used Ubuntu for a long time for my server duties, including SqueezeBoxServer, but for whatever reason found myself tinkering with it way too much. I used to enjoy the tinkering, but lately I've just wanted a 'set it and forget it' approach with minimal maintenance, and FreeBSD has given me that. The ports system is just as easy as apt/synaptic, if you ask me.
Despite a relatively considerable investment in time to get it set up properly, once you have your FreeBSD box going, it truly is rock-solid. And the documentation is really top-notch. SqueezeBoxServer also runs flawlessly. There are a million threads at many different sites arguing xBSD vs. GNU/Linux, and both are great, but for this purpose, FreeBSD has been ideal for me. -- dfarrington ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dfarrington's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7866 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72274 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
