Eskro/all,
I am new to the XBMC sceen and getting ready to build HTPC. Two questions.
1. Why are the A6 and A8 builds not able to use XBMC Live (Linux)?.
2. I am trying to determined the positives/negatives between XBMC Windows vs XBMC live. I dont care too much about being able to play with typical windows programs on the big screen. Also it would be nice to not shell out 100-130 dollars for a windows OS. It seems like it would be easier all around to have windwos installed(drivers, adding files etc) but i dont like the idea of waiting for the OS to boot up and all the bugs that come along with it. Is there a trick everyone is using to boot faster(ex. sleep/hibernate) and are you setting XBMC to launch on bootup automatically? Sorry for newbie questions
