Thanks for your answer!
I set up another PC using this guide:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMCbuntu
On the Shuttle I can't install Ubuntu because it can't set up the NIC.
Debian has no problem so I went for Debian. And since I use it for my
media server and my laptop I wasn't unhappy. That's the story ;-)
In the above mentioned guide they say that I have to
sudo usermod --group
adm,sudo,cdrom,floppy,audio,video,plugdev,netdev,powerdev,fuse,polkituser
xbmc
Some of the groups didn't exist but the audio and video groups did.
I had another problem with the sound.
So i tried openELEC wich worked out of the box and is very fast. But the
video slows down a little bit from time to time (about every minute).
Don't know yet why this is...
Regards
Another happy XBMC user :-D
