Hi Guys.
I have a headless install of Ubuntu Server 11, although it does have a screen and GUI I can enable when I'm using it directly for tasks more easily
done in a GUI, but by default the GUI is off.
I'm still quite a Noob though, and have only had the server going for about 4 weeks, and it being my first real linux experience.
I see there are two streams that can be used ... 1 being a headless server version where you execute xbmc --server and the other being a separate executable being xbmc_headless.
Now I have no idea how to install either one, nor how to use those GIT repositories ... I've tried my best, even following some basic instruction on another thread. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out ... I assume the xbmc_headless version is the way to go, as that I believe is being done by the main xbmc team?
I must also throw out there I've never used XBMC before ... so this is really from scratch for me.
Otherwise I don't mind installing standard XBMC as long as I can leave the GUI switched off, but I'm guessing that can't be done.
Regards
Itai
