What OS are you guys mostly running?

I've put an OpenElec and a RaspiMC image on each of 2 separate SD cards, but so far I've been relatively unimpressed.

I've been having issues getting anything to display on my Kogan 32" LCD tv via HDMI, sometimes I get something through composite AV.

Literally all I want is a machine to do the following smoothly:
- play videos from my Synology NAS
- play music from my Synology NAS
- display photos from my Synology NAS
- maybe later play stuff from shared iTunes servers or Airplay

I'm doing everything from a Mac but have Parallels running Win7 Professional, so I'm trying to work out the best way to do the images.

Any particular images/OS that anyone would recommend??

Openelec. Try a different HDMI cable, a better PSU or making a config.txt file and use the settings from this page.

Ordered from where? My second one arrived last week in 10 days from element14.

I ordered mine last weekend and it just arrived this morning! I was told 5 weeks, it's crazy

Mucking around with it at work, I really want to get that official Android 4.0 port going but for the moment I'm playing with Raspbmc. Anxiously waiting for it to finish "Formatting Partitions".

Anyone ordered from https://www.vesalia.de/r0e_raspberry_pi.htm?

Why would you? :S That's significantly more expensive than E14/RS.

they seam to have stock

[mtma]

It's not worth it.

You'll get it and feel like you've been ripped off and ripped a new one at the same time.

It's an official port by some of the people from Broadcom apparently which means GPU acceleration is up and running. I can imagine the main limitation would be the 256MB of RAM but animations and video playback look pretty smooth. Keen to give it a try, the foundation reckons a testing release should be available in a month or so. They're not ready to release it yet.

I wouldn't, go straight to E14. It seems orders are being filled quickly now. All that site is doing is reselling from E14/RS at an inflated price since they are the only places anyone can buy from.
