I recieved my Raspberry pi yesterday and installed raspbmc. I'm very impressed about the performance this little device puts out. I'm glad I bought 2.

Hi guys
I am looking for some compile instructions. The ones I used few weeks ago (raspbian) seem pretty outdated or the current git is buggy (get a compile error after some time in a ~*filesystem*.pa) or both. Since I strangely got git updates in waves (passed days with activity suddenly appear after some time with no activity at all) I am quite sure my git pull is beeing fixed already (many thanks guys!). However I am looking for new instructions. As far as I see there are a lot of changes in ./configure for example...

Best regards
trigger

I want to get the Raspberry Pi so bad right now! But I have to wait until I move into my new place, which won't be until the 22nd of this month. But when I get it, I plan on installing Raspbmc on it and see how well it runs everything!

I've got two original xbox's that I want to replace, I'm looking for the lowest cost replacements. Is it worth buying a raspberry pi's in the hope that xbmc will be developed to a standard that I could replace my original xbox's in the not too distant future.

The Pi works great if all you're looking for is an easy and cheap way to stream content to your TV. It won't be as fluid as the xbox, there will be noticable lag while navigating the menus, when you first start to play somthing, or while trying to fastforward/rewind. It also helps if you have some kind of storage already since the Pi does not include any. I use one on my bedroom TV and I love it, but I wouldn't want to use it on my Living Room TV, since I use it more often.

Will the possible port of android to the raspberry Pi and android version of xbmc, see improved performance of xbmc?

Running Android on the R-Pi and XBMC on top of that will probably decrease performance since there's more "stuff" to run, eat up memory, etc.

I'm prety sure it will decrease. On Linux we run exclusive, on Android we have to share with the Android runtime environment.
