Depends if the USB driver is OK in Linux.  Do you have a linky for that device?

Lol, well they take a bit more than that.  However, I found the default open source XBMC linux image, flashed it onto a 4GB CF card I had laying around.  I booted it up on my HDMI monitor at my desk, and after the splash screen went black, it took about another minute to come up with the Confluence main panel of XBMC.  This is an amazing little device; I'm looking forward to playing with it this weekend.  In the mean time, I need to buy a case for these.

I need to figure out how to export my settings from my main XBMC system so I can have the same database shared between the two systems.

It's pretty snappy for a little 700MHz CPU.

Look on the raspbmc forums. I know I saw something about setting up your different profiles and such with XBMC. Shouldn't be too hard!

I recieved my new RPI today but I ordered debian 6 for linux on a 4gb sd card for 12 $. I am not familiar much with Linux and figured I would try it the easy way the first since this is a pre installed OS on the SD card and is already setup for the RPI. Is this a good setup or should i try to veer toward XBMC? I did not have enough time tonight to boot up and try it out but there will be time tomorrow.

I found that installing OpenELEC on the RPi was totally simple and you boot right into XBMC:

I think it was a bit easier for me since I did it on my Linux box, but there are also Windows instructions.

(I downloaded the 3 required bits seperatly as the build was out of date in the combined zip)


EDIT: The beauty of this install is if using a hdmi cable your tv remote will control the XBMC interface without you having to do anything.

As for cases http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=raspberry+pi+case&_sacat=0

I'm thinking of just velcroing it to the back ot the tv. !!

Safely overclocking the 700 MHz to a nice 1Ghz with a simple firmware reflash and some simple selections.  It has 4 different overclock modes and none of them void the warranty the new firmware is developed by the RPi crew.

So I'm playing with this beastie and have some mixed results.  It seems to stream from my NAS OK at normal DVD resolution, but is you try and stream at 1080p, it buffers like crazy.  Probably because of the small amount of memory more than anything else.  I'll continue to play with it to see if there's something that can be optimized.  I know my NAS works well with my Nvidia ION HTPC, so the bottleneck has to be somewhere in the RPi.

Let me know if you can't figure out a solution to the buffering issue as I was planning on the same NAS as you and doing everything the streaming route. Most of my stuff is 1080P BluRay so if that's an issue, I may have to change my config.

Please explain more about the whole TV remote with HDMI thing! I saw some comments on the RPi forums, but didn't realize what they were saying! Does it work for ANY TV with any remote? I have a nice Logitech Harmony remote that I was thinking I might use in place of my Comcast remote and my TV remote. Would that still work?
