Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center, or OpenELEC for short, is a small Linux distribution built from scratch as a platform to turn your computer into a complete XBMC media center. OpenELEC is designed to make your system boot as fast as possible and the install is so easy that anyone can turn a blank PC into a media machine in less than 15 minutes.
With support for NVIDIA's ION platform, AMD's Fusion platform and Broadcom's Crystal HD chip, OpenELEC can support high definition content on machines with low-powered processors by offloading video content to supported graphics cards and decoders. This means you can build (or buy) small, silent machines to be effectively used as a media center.
OpenELEC has many builds available, including a 'catch-all' build that will run on almost any x86 Pentium 4 or later, but also has optimized builds for certain platforms including:
- NVIDIA ION and ION2
- Intel GMA HD chipsets
- AMD Fusion
- Apple TV 1 (using Broadcom Crystal HD)
- Raspberry Pi
E embora se possa olhar com desconfiança para o que referem, é tudo verdade (pelo menos no que se refere ao ASRock Ion 330HT). A instalação é extremamente simples e a configuração adicional permite arrancar samba e ssh no arranque da máquina. O mount de partições remotas também se faz de modo não muito complicado.
