Some of the laser software can be quite processor intensive (converting an image to a fake raster file, for example), so I think keeping things minimal would be good.

But then I'd also quite like to install XBMC for when I'm not laser cutting :$

Seems to be a fair bit about setting up Kodi/XBMC in the arch wiki. Wonder if it works the same on the ARM version for Raspberry Pi...

Consider dual booting? Maybe from a USB stick running XBMC on Raspbian or OpenElec for super streamline. A

aye it's a possibility, would like to keep it on one though if possible. If I can keep some (minimal coms) stuff running in the background and watch videos while the laser completes its job that'd be awesome. Amazon man just brought the pi so I'm going to hunt down an SD card and try it out.

Hmmm. What are you logging in to, exactly? I'd assumed from the description that you were just logging in on the virtual console. But 'opening a fullscreen terminal' doesn't make sense in that context (unless you just mean switching TTYs, in which case: don't :D). Edit: I guess maybe Raspian has some default GUI which starts, which you're logging in to, and then switching to TTY1 with ctrl+alt+f1? If so, if there's some GUI, find out how to prevent that from starting (since you're not using it). If not, just use the TTY that it autologs in on. If you want to clear the screen you can just do: Code: clear (You can add that to /etc/profile so that it happens once the login terminal is up) , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

I've only used Kodi on the RPi so I don't know firsthand what it's like elsewhere but I believe it's the same everywhere.

I use it on my other other Pi, but with the purpose built Xbian build - based on Raspbian, but stripped down to only have what Kodi needs and not a lot else. It runs very, very well on a Pi 2, and I've also got some other bits and pieces running on it in the background (mainly torrent stuff - I attempted to setup a VPN with it so I could log in to the home network remotely, but it didn't work first time so I gave up and forgot about it :'-D ) ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Well that pretty much settles it - Arch don't provide an image anymore for writing to my SD card, which means I need a linux machine to install it. Raspbian it is then :C

(A guy has put an image file on Sourceforge, but sourceforge is all kinds of fucked up right now)

Finally writing the raspbian image to my SD card. Going to experiment with a couple of things tonight: writing software for the pi to display data coming over the SPI line on screen in whatever window manager raspian uses and then Interfacing the PI with an arduino LCD-keypad shield (and shoving some of the SPI data I'm reading over to the LCD). If I can make all that work then my laser cutter is going to be fucking /awesome/. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.
