Michael,
About the SD card:
The Raspberry is not the fastest processor but it's still a
bunch faster than the SD card.  So it's best to get the
fastest SD card you can afford, at least a 16GB card.

You may have an older version, but my raspberry mod 2
had no trouble loading the raspberry version of debian that
was available over a year ago.  It is running an 8GB
SanDisk Ultra 30MB/s 6 HC I.  I loaded XBMC on it with
no complaints.   Of course you probably have a newer
version of the Pi and the software.

If I had to change anything, I would try to use the fastest
SD Card I could afford, preferable the kind used in the
new high-end cameras.  Also, the one with the most
storage I could afford, but the priority is speed over
storage size.

The other thing is that open source development can
sometimes be frustrating (like I can't install batctl on
my linux box right now) so just keep trying.  But just
once or twice a day because you know the developers
probably won't upload updates to the mirrors more
than once a day.

And relax.

FWIW, that's all I have for you.

Good luck,
Jon

hi guys, I got a problem. I ordered a Raspberry PI to run XBMC (aka
Kodi) on so I can return the NUC to my father. The PI installs an IS
called Raspian (a modified Debian). I am now having problems
insralling XBMC (aka Kodi). Here is what happens:

I ran apt-get upgrade- no problem
~ $ sudo apt-get install xbmc
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  xbmc : Depends: xbmc-bin (>= 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1) but it is
not installable
         Depends: xbmc-bin (< 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1.1~) but it
is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  ~ $ sudo apt-get install xbmc-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package xbmc-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'xbmc-bin' has no installation candidate

So what do I need to do? Whenever I install xbmc from a n ubuntu based
os it installs with no problem. Every other time I installed it onto a
debian based os it installed with no problems.
Another thing, I am also supposed to add a repository but this is the result:

  ~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
  ~ $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo: apt-add-repository: command not found

I believe I added the repository onto a debian based os before but if
it is not possible this is operator error.
