XBMCbuntu is a combination XBMC/operating system for use on PCs that are mainly just running XBMC. It is an alternative to installing Windows or a larger (and sometimes more complicated) Linux-based OS.

Hardware requirements

XBMCbuntu should work with the general hardware requirements for Linux:

Installing

Download from http://xbmc.org/download/

Note: Unlike XBMCbuntu v12, v13 has only one image file for all x86 machine types. Currently, only a 64-bit version is available, but this should cover the vast majority of users.

XBMCbuntu comes in an ISO form that can be burned to an optical disc. It can also be formatted to a USB drive, as mentioned in the next section.

Basic use

XBMCbuntu can boot directly into XBMC or it can also boot into a desktop mode for using applications such as a web browser.

Media center

XBMCbuntu contains XBMC for Linux compiled with the 'standalone' mode, this enabled certain functions that are not available in normal XBMC installations (Windows, Mac Linux), these functions include Power Management, and Network Management.
