I'm curious because I seriously considered donating hosting and hardware to the cause, but with the threat of DDoS i just can't risk it.

Some people are just dicks.

Well he wont say (wisely) but it seemed to me to sound like a personal attack. I do not think that the CDN (or whatever) servers were hit, just his. The problem was to install it had to hit his server then be directed to one of the donated servers. I think you would be as safe as you ever are online helping him in this regard.

Hi

Actually a couple of people who tried to mirror the project too were hit. It's not actually hard to guess and some people could guess outright. This isn't someone I know in person or someone with a personal vendetta against me, but instead they see the project as imposing on them. Nay bother though, great to get a DDos now and shake up the infrastructure, then when I have a lot more users and it's 6 months into release.

That makes me sad. The energy could have been better spent on productive rather destructive things.

I look forward to raspbmc.

Got mine ordered today and I'm looking forward to getting this thing running.

Hello all from germany,

since yesterday I can try my PI. 1st way was to download some distris also the actually beta from here.
The 1st view is great but the 2nd view let me assume that will be a long way to the 1st public release, is'nt it?!

So before I bleating Where I can write down all the BUG's I find in this version?

Greetings
Michael

Sam, do you mind updating network-manager to v 0.9 to match the version in xbmcbuntu (and ubuntu).
The API have changed quite a bit 0.8 - 0.9 and my nm add-on only works with 0.9.

my raspberry pi has arrived today.. I only plan on using this for XBMC.. whats the easiest way to control XBMC on the raspberry PI?
