基于Linux创建的嵌入式操作系统，OpenELEC 3.0 Beta 1 发布

OpenELEC是基于Linux创建的嵌入式操作系统，其专用目的在于运行XBMC，而这是开放源码的娱乐媒体中心。OpenELEC的理念是让人们在 使用他们的家庭影院个人电脑（HTPC）时，就像使用任何其它连接到电视机的设备一样，比如DVD播放器或者Sky box。OpenELEC并不需要人们去维护一套完整的操作系统、进行系统设置并安装软件包以成为一套综合多媒体中心；它被设计为易于安装、管理和使用， 从而使用它更像运行一台机顶盒而不是一部功能完善的计算机。

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.
