Hi, I'm a newbie to SBC. I have a 512MB model, that I would like use to stream audio to the internet (darkice + caster.fm). I've read the OS page in the wiki, the only OS there suitable for the 512MB board is Debian. Which has a gui (desktop environment), which I really don't want or need.
I'm much more comfortable with Ubuntu (actually CentOS, and Ubuntu is closer to Cent than Debian is), but it says Ubuntu won't run on the 512MB boards. I'm guessing that if ran Ubuntu, it would be slow and laggy, but then if I uninstalled the de it would be ok? But there might be other things wrong then, like the audio would be setup for a de, not command line, it might make things a little harder. It seems there is no "official" (recommended) command line OS?
I see lots of references to custom builds in the forums, like "get bob's Ubuntu core here..." but I don't feel great about that idea... I'd like something a little more mainstream. I found one that sounded like it would work ok, but the download link was a 404.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
