If you will be using the XS35GT purely as a streaming client connected to a NAS, then a small capacity SSD/HDD like 30GB or 60GB is sufficient. I installed 2GB RAM, and a 60GB SSD, as the recent SSD price drops have made the 60GB SSDs not much more expensive than the 30GB models. This installation how-to assumes you have installed a memory module and have either an SSD or HDD installed in the XS35GT case. The XS35GT refused to boot off one of my USB memory sticks and so I had to try another one that it would boot from, so if you get this problem just try another stick and you will be OK. A 1GB or 2GB device should be sufficient. In order to reduce costs, use less memory & disk space, and make the system run faster, I have chosen to install Ubuntu Linux with XBMC, rather than use Microsoft Windows.Īlso, as the XS35GT contains no DVD or CD reader, we will be using a USB memory stick as a replacement for a CD/DVD boot/install media, so ensure you have one handy. Personally, I like the XBMC software, and here I’ll describe how to install it on the XS35GT. After you’ve bought your Shuttle XS35GT silent media center / HTPC, you’ll want to install some good software to make the system work well.
