All, I'm pushing forward with the idea of running the FreedomBox software and XBMC as a media server on a Raspberry Pi. I'm not sure how far I'll get, but I'll update my blog with what I find out. I just posted the research I've done thus far: http://experimentsinfreedom.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/

Good point Ben. I guess the unspoken question I had then is: what do people think about the idea of merging a Freedombox and media center? If one wanted to do this, where would you start? Take a Freedombox build and add video support, or start with Raspbian with video support and try to merge Free
