XBMC live vs. ubuntu server + XBMC - Mackan2 - 2008-11-16
Are there any advantages/disadvantages in doing a true install (to USB) of Ubuntu server and xbmc instead of just running XBMC live?
I guess boot time is shorter for the installed system.
Any optimizations when running Live? Is stuff cached to RAM at boot? Can you guide me to a page describing how the Live file system works (with the img files and so on)?

Hi,
AFAIK, no real benefits from performance point of view.
I use the Ubuntu server version, because it allows me to install on a USB with any size and filesystem I want - which is helpful for testing purposes and allows me to add some server-side software later (e.g., for audio recording from tapes and LPs).
WWell,

Installed Ubuntu CLI last night to be able to use my 8GB USB-stick and for easier install of myth later on. I noticed that a "ps -aux" gave me a much shorter list of running processes than on Live, whatever that means...
