Well... like I said, no ability to boot USB without lots of issues so, OpenELEC isn't being considered at this point. I tried last summer to install Win7 from USB and after finally getting it to boot the USB it was slow and had problems, had to retry 3 times. It was just easier and faster to load off disc. Motherboard is about 8-10yrs old. Too bad OpenELEC didn't have a burn to disc ISO image like pretty much everything else does.
Kodibuntu seems like a good option, but, as I said before the fonts were so insanely small on screen, I don't know what options there are in the OS. Looked like a login window but, couldn't read it and couldn't get past it.
Ubuntu also seems a fair option since I tried it from DVD as well and works fine. I'm Googling to see how I can get the HP iR Receiver to work on it. IF it works is one question, HOW is the other. Found a few references online, but all based on the premise that the person already knows the ins/outs of Ubuntu, but, there are references so seems an option.
