Horses for courses. Openelec is my choice, and easiest.

Thanks...I have elected to run with Open ELEC, my next question is what is the best build to use. From what I have been reading is the newer builds are not always the best. Also, same question regarding KODI. Which is the best build of KODI to install on a RPi2 with Open Elect installed? Thanks again. Steve

You don't get a separate choice of which Kodi version to run in a specific OpenElec version - Kodi is built in to the build of OpenElec you use (OpenElec has a Read Only OS system that means you don't upgrade Kodi independently, it isn't like Windows, Android or Ubuntu/Debian/Raspbian where you can chose which software to install)

I'd start with the stable build (currently 6.0.1) here : http://openelec.tv/get-openelec unless you really need some bleeding edge stuff.

Forgive me for sounding totally naive, as I have stated I am new to this and my main goal is only to run Kodi. What you are telling me is Kodi is built into OpenElect, I understand that now. When you say upgrade Kodi, I am assuming you mean upgrade the version of Kodi I am using and not the repositories within Kodi? I am assuming they upgrade automatically whenever I open Kodi? I have been reading so much this week, my head is going to explode, never mind that I just started reading on how to overclock a RPi2 so things run smoother. I am not the sharpest using a computer, but the forums and the help here has been tremendous. FYI, I am located in the US, and many of my friends have been buying cheap Chinese boxes, (that's how I learned about Kodi about 6 months ago), and my ultimate goal is to show them a box with a cleaner build with many less broken links and freeze ups. Thanks again to all of you, your help is priceless!
