I must've been a good boy this year as Santa has just ordered a Revo 3700 2GB, Linux loaded Nettop for me
Now, finally, I can start to watch all my backed up movies and home videos on the big screen, and enjoy some HD content, rather than huddled over the PC in the dining room on a 19" monitor!
Not quite sure where to start, can anyone give me a few top tips for when it arrives?
My main purpose of the unit will be to playback movie backups, which are a mixture of avi, mp4, mpeg, vob, and a few mkv (which will probably increase now). I also want to use the unit to bring the internet to the lounge TV, including watching Flash based media like ITV Catchup, BBC Iplayer and YouTube.
With that in mind, I'm thinking XBMC, but do I need a Windows OS partition as well in order to do the Internet thing?
Any problems with the fact that this is the 2gb RAM model? Will I need to upgrade?
