OpenELEC 3.0.0 发布，基于Linux创建的嵌入式操作系统

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 release of OpenELEC 3.0.0, a specialist Linux distribution built around XBMC, the open-source entertainment media hub: " The OpenELEC team is proud to release OpenELEC 3.0.0. OpenELEC 3.0 is built to support XBMC Frodo 12.1 and almost every part of the core operating system has been updated and improved since the 2.0 release. The project now supports a broader range of media centre hardware than ever before, including dedicated OS images for the budget-friendly Arctic MC001 and ultra-low-cost Raspberry Pi systems. Raspberry Pi deserves a special mention as it has been a labour of love for the OpenELEC team. OpenELEC was the very first XBMC distro to be demonstrated on development Pi hardware back in February 2012 while other distros were still talking about future plans and hoping for news on shipping dates."
