Hi guys,
I must say i Love XBMC, currently using it on Asus EEE PC on windows XP and it's running fine, although with few setbacks (windows issues) i decided to fully dedicate this netbook to XBMC.
So i wanted to install some distro with XBMC.
My goal is this:
1. To have working WiFi (with static IP config)
2. To have proper dual monitor setup (TV out as main and EEE as secondary - this is how I use it atm on windows) so i can watch it on TV as soon as it boots. - or any kind of setup that would output xbmc to TV upon boot.
3. To access SMB shares and to map it on boot so XBMC can use it as source for library
4. To boot directly into XBMC (I dont need any gui for linux as I wont be using it for anything else).
I need your help since I don't know which distro to use nor how to set it (not a linux user but booting windows is overkill for XBMC only on this PC)
Should i go with ubuntu + xbmc, or to use XBMCbuntu or something third.
Thank you.
