In your opinion, which Dual boot setup is best for this level of tickering (new OS's from you, new builds, testing 17.0, etc.)? The OpenElec Dual boot or the Ubuntu Dual boot setup? From doing a lot of research, OpenElec is said to be faster, but I haven't tested it yet. But when new RC's come out or new Boot loaders come from you, which dual boot combo is best for this? Lastly, (I'm sure you'll provide a link), how does one update the firmware or boot OS you provide without a complete redo? I've read a lot of the post here and the wiki's and just need some clarification. Forgive me if I missed a post that explains all this already.
Thanks again!
dual boot OpenELEC for sure. There's rarely a need to update the legacy boot firmware component after the initial installation, but if you did want or need to, you would simply re-run the setup script from ChromeOS and choose the appropriate option from the menu. Updating OpenELEC is as simple as downloading the update file, dropping it in the update folder, and rebooting. If you need to start fresh, just re-run the dual boot option from the setup script and it will format/reinstall OpenELEC.
