VortexBox 2.0 Brings Logitech Media Server 7.7.0

Because this distribution is based on Fedora and because Fedora itself is now at version 16, the developers from vortexbox.org have released VortexBox 2.0.

Among the changes there is Logitech Media Server 7.7.0, a server with a powerful web interface and a lot of other important multimedia features, a number of fixes and updates, as well including new versions of MPD and their proprietary built in DLNA server.

VortexBox is a Fedora-based Linux distribution that turns any computer into a media streaming server or jukebox.

VortexBox automatically rips Audio CDs to MP3 and FLAC files and fills in ID3 tags and cover art. The ripped files can then be streamed to a network player such as Logitech SqueezeBox, Linn or Sonos, and even to a Windows or Macintosh system.
