Hi All!
I have ordered a Raspberry B, will have it Monday or Tuesday. The sole purpose is to see how good a media center I can get. The objective with the media center is to access web resources like IceFilms, Pandora, etc., but also to watch my modest collection of 1080p BluRay movies converted to MKV across DLNA/uPnP (I could do NFS mounted through /etc/fstab if that contributes to stutter-free 1080 playback).
I am very familiar with Fedora Core Linux on x86 as a home server, and have dual-purposed it as an HTPC with XBMC 12.2. My question is, which of OpenElec, RaspBMC, Xbian or Raspbian with XBMC direct install should I go with?
I have searched a bit on the net. Found articles like: this or this. Seems like the suggestion is Xbian if you want to be able to tinker with underlying Linux, or OpenElec if you want a standalone media center.
Any opinions here?
Thanks for the help!
