The quickest route would be to use a pre-built image, say one of those listed on the cubieforums:

    The "wheezy server" or "cubieez" images look like good starting points. Otherwise there's cubian : http://cubian.org/tutorials/

    It so happens the "Community Squeeze" project is begining to look beyond the Wandboard, and the Cubietruck has attracted their attention.
    Just wanted to update this thread and say that I ordered a Cubietruck today and should get it within the next week or two. I also investigated the Community Squeeze project and it looks like they are hard at work on rolling out a version for the Cubietruck. They have a beta image that seems to work fine so hopefully there will be an "actual" image very soon. I will update here once I have either succeeded or failed miserably in my attempt to turn a Cubietruck into a squeezebox.
