[BigL-New]

BigL ... for what it's worth, I originally started out with an Ubuntu build based on the 1st message of this thread, then later switched to the OpenElec builds that fritsch has here: http://fritsch.fruehberger.net/openelec/

On my cheapo Baytrail box the OpenElec build runs WAY better... everything just works.

Thanks for this proposition. I've thought about at least trying OpenElec but:
1. I want to run Kodi (mainly for wideo) with mpd (for pure headless audio - main purpose of Beebox for me) and samba CIFS home server so OpenElec is not a solution for me since it's not so easy to add other packages to it. I need full distro.
2. I thought that fritsch provides ready to run images (like live CD iso images) but 've checked it and they are installation images needed to be deployed every time on SDD.

So for my needs it's much better to update packages from ppa, restart kodi service, do tests and have mpd running all the time in the background.
