HP t5510

I have two HP t5510 thin client units and would like to know if they could be made into a XBMC media Linux unit? Is there software to put on a usb key to boot into XBMC?
Any help would be great.
Thank You
JGN

How much ram do they have and what sort of video chip? Better yet can you provide a link to the full specs?

There should be bootable media available somewhere, but before doing that we need to understand what hardware you have.

Hi,

I think that having only 112 MB of ram could be a serious problem. Also note that xbmc needs hardware graphics rendering, and I don't think your Radeon 7000M will do that.

Hi,

ohh, but if you really want to try, see for example http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMCbuntu
