Raspbmc is a minimal Linux distribution based on Debian that brings XBMC to your Raspberry Pi. This device has an excellent form factor and enough power to handle media playback, making it an ideal component in a low HTPC setup, yet delivering the same XBMC experience that can be enjoyed on much more costly platforms. Raspbmc is brought to you by the developer of the Crystalbuntu Linux Distribution, which brings XBMC and 1080p decoding to the 1st generation Apple TV. Here’s why you might like Raspbmc: Free and open source. Supports both wired and WiFi out of the box!

[Dossier] Tout savoir sur le RaspBerry Pi
L’histoire du RaspBerry Pi serait digne d’une adaptation cinématographique si le suspense au sujet de sa sortie avait duré un peu plus longtemps. Initialement attendu pour le mois de septembre… 2001, le µPC à 35 dollars de la fondation RaspBerry a finalement été livré aux premiers clients. Les nombreux imprévus n’ont pas eu raison de la détermination des utilisateurs pour ce concentré de technologies : avec près de 350 000 commandes à travers le monde, le RaspBerry Pi s’est créé une véritable communauté. Mais à qui s’adresse le RaspBerry Pi ? Si l’on s’en tient à la cible initiale à laquelle ont pensé les membres de la fondation, il faut compter sur les écoles de pays en voie de développement, les utilisateurs désireux de coder à moindre coût et… c’est tout.The Raspberry Pi, a super-cheap, low-power, single-board computer that uses an SD card for storage, plugs into a keyboard and a TV, and has been heralded as the future of everything from home theater PCs to classroom computers, finally launched this morning. The first few batches sold out in minutes, but more are on the way, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation's retail partners are locking in pre-orders now. The first units to go on sale were the $35 USD "Model B," which sports a 700Mhz Broadcom BCM2835 (which serves as the system's CPU, GPU, and SDRAM,) composite and HDMI outputs for video, an SD slot for storage, 2 USB ports, and a single Ethernet port on the board. The $25 USD "Model A," which, aside from dropping a USB port and the Ethernet port, is exactly like its more expensive brother, is still in manufacturing and will be available soon.
