Hi. I´m thinking about buying an acer revo n330 and I would like to know what xbmc software should I install in order to use its Ion hardware acceleration. Can anyone show me a tutorial? I never used xbmc and to be honest UI doesnt really matter to me... I just want the best video quality possible. If I install xbmc wont I ever need to install codecs?

Thank you very much in advance.
Easy way - download the live cd and use that to install everything for you. Slightly more involved way use the XBMCubuntu guide http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMCbuntu

Plenty of other guides if you look in the linux forum.
Is the xbmc live version the one that replaces the OS? Can someone tell me what other media software players use hw accelaration tech by default? Windows media player? cyberlink?

Thank you.
