I think most (if not all) start with a media centre like RaspBMC before trying other stuff.

you name it..

RaspBMC, just download and install into SD....

Anyone used it as a NAS or LAMP server? What is your performance you are able to achieve from it?

I recently upgraded my Xbian to Alpha 4.0 and it is awesome! 1080p high bitrate videos that was very jerky last time is now smooth. I suspect no less with the final raspbmc. I actually tried it but ran into problems getting the wifi to connect, so went back to Xbian since I was more familiar with it.

if anyone is having problem getting their wifi working on Xbian:
1. edit /etc/network/interfaces
2. look for "wireless-power off" and change it to "wireless-power on"

assuming you have the other network configurations done properlly this should get your wifi working on the Pi.

Xbian samba share is it auto like rraspbmc? Last time i try it does not work...

what do you mean samba share is auto? are you talking about Xbian running samba client or samba server? If client I never had any problems. It always started automatically. if samba server I am not sure as I never set that up since I have a NAS I am streaming from. Does that answer your question?

Well, when I installed raspbmc. The folders automatically get shared on my network. So I can view the folders from my win 7 pc without doing anything.

xbian... did not show up on my win 7 computer's network.

Where is the best deal for raspberry?
I need the raspberry,case,keyboard,cable connect to tv,power cable.
I found this but not sure is this good or not.

Everything is an option. So you can order your Raspberry online (or buy from shops) and the rest just go Lowyat...

You can get from anyone/anyshop online.... all also same thing... most important is got stock or not.

hmm I dont think so that it is showing on mine. But I dont use though...

can it run this software?

Guys, I just got mine but I am not able to get it online.

I plugged in the Ethernet cable, but there is no indication of Raspbian being online. Tried accessing www.google.com using Midori but it doesn't work.

I used the Internet cable and slot previously used for my current HyppTV setup (the Ethernet cable used to connect the wireless router to the HyppTV box). HyppTV works fine, even now. I tried changing cables and slots... doesn't work as well.

Please help... if it cannot go online then I can't download any applications.

@decypher

use slot 1-3 if you use ethernet.

the newest raspbian image works with wifi.

have you tried using the 1-3 white+orange wifi router slot with anything else?

I tried changing slots from the router to the modem. No connection.

Weird thing is that I logged into the modem and can see raspberrypi as one of the connected clients. Just no Internet connection.

When I plug the cable into my laptop, the laptop shows limited or no connectivity.
