Is this a problem, or have they simply not tried the package manager?For being Debian-based, it should be child's play to install Plex media server and have it work ootb. However, this is not the case with MX 17; and even after avahi-utils, the daemon still could not be found. Now, either I missed something *really* obvious, or the distro needs work in this respect; and because of this, I've rated it 6/10.

Re: Plex media server problem?
the problem is that plex does not supply a sysV init script for the server. if you boot systemd, like main debian, yeah, its easy.
they still package ubuntu "upstart" scripts, but they are wrong...
you have to be careful not to start plex with root privledges, because that would be bad.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.
