I’ve been keeping my eyes on Lubuntu, the newest version of Ubuntu built ground up to run on older, less able machines (supposedly has a much, much smaller RAM footprint than Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or even Xubuntu). OMG Ubuntu noted that they decided to change to a new music player for their 10.10 release in the fall. They chose DeaDBeeF.

Weird name if you ask me.

If you want to check it out, use these commands to add the repo and then install (for 9.10 and 10.04):

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:alexy-smirnov/deadbeef

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install deadbeef

yep, check it out and lemme know what you think! I think I’ll stick with Guayadeque as my player of choice, but this isn’t too shabby…
