Hi there,
I'm considering xbmcbuntu for my next HTPC. My HTPC will serve multiple purposes, so not just to server up XBMC to my TV. It will serve 4/5 functions:
1) XBMC front-end for my TV
2) NFS NAS (for time machine backups)
3) Private cloud storage
4) Serve a handful of other small applications (tvheadend being one of them)
5) possibly using Steam
Can xbmcbuntu handle these needs or would a more complete O/S be more appropriate?
As a note: I'd prefer to have the lightest weight O/S possible, stripped of everything possible, and I can install what is needed to achieve my goals. I'm just not sure if there is an upper limit on flexibility within xbmcbuntu.
thanks,
-joel
