OS choice is opinion really, though I don't think Android has taken over for many.

Slackware 4 Pandora is available, not sure how long you been away exactly or if you'd tried that already?

There is this section of the boards now, been around a while, but was an addition so you may not had noticed?

The default firmware superzaxxon 1.6something is the one you want to use.. it has been improved over the years.. you may want to flash a fresh image (or install to

SD card) After that you can keep up to date with online updates..

Thanks and 1.61 i have that any ways but will try to update it any way

The latest firmware actually has an update option in the system menu now. Run that and it'll bring you up to latest, including any hot patches that haven't made it into an official packaged release yet.

Although you also get unstable updates that way, don't you?

No more unstable than usual. Also these hotfixes usually fixes something in the full release.

There was the one update that broke the wifi, it would stop working if you reboot. It was fixed fairly quickly and as long as you didn't reboot you could rerun the update and everything was fine. If you did reboot you'd either need a USB tether, manually installing the update, or just reflashing. That's the extent of "unstable" and nothing like it has happened since.
