Tak kenal maka tak sayang.
Yah mungkin itu yang tepat untuk melukiskan tentangku mengenai pencarian akan music & video player yang cukup wah ini. Sudah cukup lama ternyata XBMC Media Center ini ada, akan tetapi yah itu tadi karena ga’ tahu akan keberadaannya saja maka software yang menurut aku cukup wah ini tidak aku gunakan. Kemarin-kemarin sih cukup dengan menggunakan Amarok, atau Banshee music player & Kaffeine & Totem untuk memainkan video player. Tapi setelah kenalan sama XBMC yang bisa memainkan kedua-duanya dan sesuai dengan kebutuhanku maka mulai beralih ke XBMC ini.
Bukan berarti player-player yang laen tidak bagus sih, menurutku semua player bagus asal sesuai dengan kebutuhkan masing-masing individu.

Masalah Install, Pake YaST2 saja biar gampang
