Multi Boot option

Tired of swapping SDs to try different OS?

Do you have different use cases for your PI and each needs another OS?

You can use BerryBoot to have more OS running on the PI, you can do that even using a small SD and having all OSs on the USB drive

Download link Berryboot for the Raspberry Pi: berryboot-20130528.zip

Simply format your SD to FATxx, and simply extract the content of the above ZIP file there.

you can install on the USB drive but make sure that it is empty since it will be formatted by the Berry..

Controlling Openelec with TV Remote

If you want to control your openelec installation using your TV remote via HDMI connector, your TV need to have HDMI-CEC standard. first you have to know if your TV is HDMI-CEC capable or not?

Different brands for HDMI CEC
There are different trade names for HDMI CEC, search your TV manual, Box and the TV itself for one of the following.

Samsung - Anynet+
Sony - BRAVIA Link or BRAVIA Sync
Sharp - Aquos Link
Hitachi - HDMI-CEC
AOC - E-link
Pioneer - Kuro Link
Toshiba - Regza Link or CE-Link
Onkyo - RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI)
LG - SimpLink
Panasonic - VIERA Link or HDAVI Control or EZ-Sync
Philips - EasyLink
Mitsubishi - NetCommand for HDMI
Runco International - RuncoLink

PS: some TVs might have it only on 1 dedicated  HDMI slot eg. HDMI1 or HDMI-CEC

PI as Media Center

Most interesting use case for the PI to use it as a Media center, XBMC is best Media center that you can ever us.

Lucky XBMC runs on PI you can get different releases / builds but my main one is the openelec 

To Install openelec you need the following

Hardware
1. your PI
2. SD card I recommend 2GB, more is OK but not needed

Software
1. openelec image get the latest here
2. Tool to prepare the card MINI Partition Manager
3. Instruction to follow, TasksOfOhm did a good job there to explain it. you have to follow that really to the word, it works good.

Install it and lets see
