If you are not having problems and are happy, they why update? Most of the updates were needed for new rpi boards and all of the i2s DAC cards. As well as adding features. If you hardware is old and don't care about the new features.....then again why update. Why would you think 2.02 would be best for you? That being said, the base install is and has been kept to a minimum. The later versions should be just as energy efficient as older versions. Settings would not be retained in a reflash, however you should be able to backup your settings to USB, and then boot the new system with the USB stick installed, and it should pull the settings accross. Sometimes there are large enough config changes that you still need to reconfigure. I would keep your current card, and burn a new image to a new card and play with it. Easy to swap the cards to go back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
