I’ve been playing around with debian for ouya recently – seems to be working fine: you need a device to load the kernel from (good use for my cubieboard or rpi?), otherwise it’s good. Hardware acceleration works, HDMI audio as well: so I thought I’d give it a try with XBMC. It works flawlessly on …

Found a cool software that changes my wallpaper dynamically today, but it was only built for Fedora 13. Repackaged it for F16 so everyone would be able to enjoy it: wally-2.4.4-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm wally-2.4.4-1.fc16.i386.rpm wally-2.4.4-1.fc16.src.rpm
