 If you wish to keep your /library and /plugins after you untar the file to your directory of choice this is also possible. That way you will be able to save all your settings and plugins to access content without having to redo the data in Serviio console. If you wish to keep your /library and /plugins after you untar the file to your directory of choice this is also possible.

 +Then all you need to do with Gnome and Mint or other distros with the ability to change the "start Menu" is add the serviio and console .sh scripts as programs to launch from /home///the directory that you put serviio in///serviio-//whatever is current///bin/ to your Menu(s). Other users on the same machine but with a different login will not have these items in their start menu. So if you share this machine with others that do not use a dlna server the changes that you made are not system wide at all. And will not effect the core of Linux in anyway whatsoever.  
  
 You need to make sure that you have sun-java 1.6 and ffmpeg installed and you can do that with the command line or Synaptic or whatever package manager you have ..Slackware and Zenwalk even have these packages so Bobs Your Uncle:-; whatever form of Linux you choose Serviio will work without too much hassle or command line expertise. Some Debian variants and pure Debian will need the non-free media repositories enabled to get the dreaded "proprietary codecs" though. But by and large all newer Linux distros will work well with Serviio. You need to make sure that you have sun-java 1.6 and ffmpeg installed and you can do that with the command line or Synaptic or whatever package manager you have ..Slackware and Zenwalk even have these packages so Bobs Your Uncle:-; whatever form of Linux you choose Serviio will work without too much hassle or command line expertise.
