OpenELEC is a very small and light weight distribution to play media files and watch internet TV on a raspberry pi. This helps to set up an xbmc on a raspberry pi with a small size (~90Mb!) and it boots very fast. So this is agood option for those who use the Pi as an exclusive media Centre.
As many of you know, the Pi uses an SD card to boot and we need to install the operating system in it. As a totally new person to raspberrry pi, what you can do is, insert a blank, empty SD card in to your computer or Card reader and follow the following guide to install the operating system on the SD card. Then place this card in your raspberry pi (Insert the card with the golden connector on the card facing upward- if you place your pi on a flat surface)
