I just decided to dump my Xbox 1 and buy an Acer Aspire Revo AR1600-U910H Desktop PC based on what I have read in this forum.
My question is where do I start?
XBMCLive 9.11 RC1 <--use this one?
HOW-TO install XBMC Live on Acer Aspire Revo - The Complete Guide for Newbies <--or this one?
HOW-TO make a minimal install of Ubuntu on Acer Revo ION in under 25 minutes <-- or this one?
Or some combination of the three? I have no experience with Linux but I will learn.
I want to do a permanent install (not worried about what is on the HD, this will be dedicated HTPC), I am assuming that I use 9.11 RC1 but there seems to be a lot of issues with volume and other things, should I start with what is listed in the newbie guide or go with the newest release?
I am also assuming the live install is better than installing XBMC into Windows XP (which I could easily do).
Thanks in advance.
