I didn't want to get too obscure with my distro choice.
Ubuntu is a nice popular and compliant platform and Xubuntu is just a little lighter.
I agree my implementation/installation could have been done better. I am actually considering redoing it with a minimal iso and manually installing only required components.
Could anyone suggest a better distro or implementation?
Thanks,
JG
I personally build lightweight stuff with
Fedora LXDE. However, note that at present Bitcoin cannot be built using the libraries shipped with Fedora, so you would be stuck with the official binary. Which isn't so bad in itself..
