Hi,
I have been using XBMC on Xbox previously. So i am not totally fresh, but i have not been following the project because XBMC on Xbox has been running rock solid!
Now the Xbox is to be replaced by a Linux box, because the Xbox hardware is not my own. So i have a box at home setup with Ubuntu 8.04 x86 everything is up and running, so it works as my media center today. But now i want to add XBMC to it. XBMC is installed and running OK, may have some problem with sound but i think that is more due to sound services does not get started when i login to fluxbox instead of gnome. Get back to you later if it really is an issue.
XBMC is installed from using apt-get and HARDY PPA from: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=185738
Any benefits using SVN PPA instead of HARDY PPA?
At the moment my planned setup is to have a user account for xbmc, which i login to from GDM with fluxbox as the predefined window manager. Then have xbmc auostarted by fluxbox. That way i can choose XBMC or NotXBMC at gdm login.
I would appreicate notes on how you make use of XBMC under linux.
