Hi all! I have a Mac Mini PPC [email protected] with 1GB RAM. I would like to use as a media center near my tv. I tried xbmc-powerpc for Mac and everything works but I think that I do more if I use Ubuntu.
I bought a IR receiver with a remote controller. Everything work on Mac and also on Ubuntu desktop 10.4 so the first issue is solved.
Questions:
Is the XBMC present in binary for ppc? If not, is possible to compile it easily?
Is possible to install XBMC without install all the desktop (gnome or similar)? My goal is to create a fully automated system that at the boot starts all the services and XBMC as the only interface available where I can easily shutdown or standby the computer.
Is possible to use the apple remote with a compatible irda receiver that I plugged in the usb?
These are all my questions at the moment. Thanks in advance for any help.
