Check out Raspbmc. Its a rPi version of xbmc running on a custom kernel.

The project is run by a student here in London, ON Canada.

I've tried Raspbmc and ran into all kinds of weird problems. As a result I installed Raspbian, added XBMC myself and have been happy ever since.

I tried Raspbmc but the buggy Airplay support forced me to switch to Xbian. Haven't bumped into a problem since.

Uh, no. Sam is in London, England. Well, somewhere in the UK anyway.

My mistake. I had been poking around the raspbmc site and saw that he was at King's College - theres also a Kings College in London Canada and I jumped to conclusions.

Looking up his blog made that pretty apparent .co.uk :P

I hope so too. As much as I love my XBMC built, recent versions have been clunky and unstable. Competition is always good.

Indeed! Thanks for your comment!
