i discovered xbmc by accident 6 months ago, and i have not stopped smiling and spreading the word since.
Question.1
i should be receiving my asus chromebox next week,(upgrading from gbox running linux) and i want to go standalone openelec, but my question is, if i have a critical failure of openelec, i would just re install it, instead of trying to fix it, so if this happens, do you have to put chrome back in before you can reload openelec, or will it just go back in without chrome in stand alone.

nope, just reinstall OpenELEC from USB media (or use the built-in reset function)

Quote:Question2.
is there any real advantage of going standalone rather than duel boot, as i want from the box is xbmc?
sorry for the dumb question, but i fix john deere agricultural machines for a living, and not computers. all the best. steve.

if all you want is XBMC, then standalone is the way to go for sure. Boot will be faster, suspend will actually work, and you won't have to deal with ChromeOS at all - it will act just like an ordinary PC.
