基于Linux創建的嵌入式操作系統，OpenELEC 3.0 Beta 1 發布

OpenELEC是基于Linux創建的嵌入式操作系統，其專用目的在于運行XBMC，而這是開放源碼的娛樂媒體中心。OpenELEC的理念是讓人們在 使用他們的家庭影院個人電腦（HTPC）時，就像使用任何其它連接到電視機的設備一樣，比如DVD播放器或者Sky box。OpenELEC并不需要人們去維護一套完整的操作系統、進行系統設置并安裝軟件包以成為一套綜合多媒體中心；它被設計為易于安裝、管理和使用， 從而使用它更像運行一臺機頂盒而不是一部功能完善的計算機。

Stephan Raue has announced the availability of the first beta build of OpenELEC 3.0, a major new update of the project's Linux-based embedded operating system built specifically to run the XBMC entertainment media hub: " The OpenELEC team is proud to release the first beta of OpenELEC 3.0. Internally this is known by the less-catchy name OpenELEC 2.95.1. Shortly after our OpenELEC 2.0 release we are proud to present our first OpenELEC 3.0 beta. With this new version come many exciting updates. Based on XBMC 12.0 Frodo, OpenELEC 3.0 brings official support for our first ARM devices, the Raspberry Pi, Linux kernel 3.6, improved PVR support and of course, the long-awaited audio engine. This new version of OpenELEC also includes many driver updates, including new support for many DVB and wireless devices. The new boot to RAM option allows PXE systems and slow devices to boot even faster than before. " Read the full release announcement for a detailed list of new features and screenshots.
