저사양 PC로 HTPC 만들기

집안 한구석에 박혀있는 저사양 PC (Pentium4, 2G Ram, D875PBZ.. 이정도면 저사양이라 하기 그런가...) 를 이용하여 HTPC를 만들어 보았다.  만들게 된 계기 ??  WINDOWS 8 평가버전을 돌려보니 정말 가벼웠고.. XBMC 가 너무 예뻐보였기 때문이랄까.. 

바로 설치해 보았다. 헉 그런데...

To install Windows 8 Release Candidate on your PC, the processor (CPU) must support the following features:  Physical Address Extension (PAE), NX, and SSE2.  Most CPUs have support for these features, so if you receive this error, it is likely because the NX feature is not enabled on your system.

 To resolve this error, follow manufacturer guidelines to enable NX (“No eXecute bit”), or the equivalent XD (“eXecute Disabled”), feature within the BIOS settings.  This feature is typically found in the Advanced or Security tabs within the BIOS settings, and can be referred to by a variety of names, including but not limited to:

·        No Execute Memory Protect

·        Execute Disabled Memory Protection

·        EDB (Execute Disabled Bit)

·        EVP (Enhanced Virus Protection)

내 똥컴은 WINDOWS 8 설치가 되지 않는다는  ㅠㅠ     

다른 방법을 찾아야 했다..  가벼운 운영체제..  익숙한 UI .

나름 찾은 방법은 Zorin OS에 XBMC를 얹는 것.  자세한 방법은 하기 글 참조하시고..

대체로 만족한다.. 그러나..  아직도 느리다는 느낌을 지울 수가 없기에  구글링을 더 해보았다. 

그러다 찾아낸 물건.   geexbox   이거 정말 물건이다. 

3.0버전에서는 XBMC까지 품었다.  100메가 조금 넘는 용량으로 CD/USB 부팅 혹은 Install 후 바로 사용가능하다. 

A shiny new GeeXboX release has arrived! GeeXboX 3.0 is a major upgrade that integrates XBMC 11 “Eden” and adds the long-requested PVR functionality. This means you can finally use GeeXboX to watch and record live TV too! In addition to our usual x86 ISOs, this release is also available for several embedded platforms, with working full HD video and graphics acceleration for most of them.

A year in the making, this new GeeXboX 3.0 release is the accomplishment of hours, days, months of efforts from a lot of people. The ISO image of “GeeXboX for PC” edition grew up to 140 MB, mostly due to additional firmware and drivers to improve hardware support. We still think of GeeXboX as a lightweight distro, aiming at targeting the most PCs and devices as possible. The whole base system has been overhauled as usual, with countless package upgrades for improved stability and functionality, also benefitting from several improvements to the underlying OpenBricks build system.

GeeXboX also support many embedded devices running ARM SoCs (such as TI OMAP4 Pandaboard, nVidia Tegra 2, Solid-Run Cubox powered by Marvell Armada, ST-Ericsson Snowball), and more will be coming soon. Preliminary support for Toshiba AC100 (Tegra2-based netbook) and Raspberry Pi is already integrated in the development tree.
