MC2 Post 1760 In the Past Week I Got Re-Ignited to the Wonders of Linux





A small Pie in the Face



If you don't Look Real Closely both Google's Android and Apple's iOS is related to Linux  like a soup is related to the pan you cook it in...
by holding it to-gether.






But if you want to see real raw power given to the User, you need Linux.  And it doesn't Have to be one of the versions running on Supercomputers.  Though that's still pretty Cool.The Do-It-Yourself  Crowd has embraced the 40 dollar single board wonder called Raspberry PI.  And it runs a version of Linux too.






So this Blog is pretty much going to be 

a hefty Pi in the Face.

Today, there’s more good news for OpenELEC fans. We’re really grateful to the OpenELEC team, who have worked themselves to the bone on getting things running on the Pi; they were the first XBMC distro to be demonstrated on development Pi hardware back in February last year, were the first ever HardFP distribution (that appeared in March 2012).


From  the OpenElec Website:


What is OpenELEC?


Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center, or OpenELEC (http://www.openelec.tv) for short, is a small Linux distribution built from scratch as a platform to turn your computer into a complete XBMC media center (http://www.xbmc.org). 

OpenELEC is designed to make your system boot as fast as possible and the install is so easy that anyone can turn a blank PC into a media machine in less than 15 minutes.


    It’s completely free
    A full install is only 80-125MB
    Minimal hardware requirements
    Simple install to HDD, SSD, Compact Flash, SD card, pen drive or other
    Optimized builds for Atom, ION, Intel, Fusion, RaspberryPi and more
    Simple configuration through the XBMC interface
    Plug and Play external storage
    File sharing out of the box









=========================================
=========================================

XBMC-12.1 (Frodo) – features include:

    DTS-MA and Dolby True-HD via XBMC’s new AudioEngine (not on AMD and RPi)
    Greatly improved Live TV and PVR support
    Improved image support, allowing the database to use additional image   types.
    Support for the Raspberry Pi
    Better Airplay support across all platforms
    Advanced Filtering in the library
    Advanced UPnP sharing
