Help choosing distro

Hi,

I just ordered an Skylake NUC and will run Linux on it.

My distro of choice has been Ubuntu but I am fed up with the release cycle and would like more of a rolling release. I would say I am an intermediate level Linux user.

It's going to be a HTPC, I want to have the latest kernels (4.6+). I will run Valve Steam, Plex Media Server (VDENC) and Kodi on there (files are stored on a Solaris NFS server).

What do you all think?

Has 16.04 got a semi-automated way to keep the kernel and packages for Steam, PMS and Kodi on the latest developer versions?

Thanks for looking.

Richard

NAME
ocf_heartbeat_nfsserver - Manages an NFS server SYNOPSIS
nfsserver [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all] DESCRIPTION
Nfsserver helps to manage the Linux nfs server as a failover-able resource in Linux-HA. It depends on Linux specific NFS implementation details, so is considered not portable to other platforms yet. SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
nfs_init_script The default init script shipped with the Linux distro. The nfsserver resource agent offloads the start/stop/monitor work to the init script because the procedure to start/stop/monitor nfsserver varies on different Linux distro. (optional, string, default /etc/init.d/nfsserver) nfs_notify_cmd The tool to send out NSM reboot notification. Failover of nfsserver can be considered as rebooting to different machines. The nfsserver resource agent use this command to notify all clients about the happening of failover. (optional, string, default /usr/sbin/sm-notify) nfs_shared_infodir The nfsserver resource agent will save nfs related information in this specific directory. And this directory must be able to fail-over before nfsserver itself. (required, string, no default) nfs_ip The floating IP address used to access the nfs service (required, string, no default) SUPPORTED ACTIONS
This resource agent supports the following actions (operations): start Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 40. stop Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. monitor Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 10. meta-data Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5. validate-all Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 30. EXAMPLE
The following is an example configuration for a nfsserver resource using the crm(8) shell: primitive example_nfsserver ocf:heartbeat:nfsserver params nfs_shared_infodir=string nfs_ip=string op monitor depth="0" timeout="20s" interval="10" SEE ALSO
