As for the Raspbian seems that most just wants the
1) file manager/usb access
2) Media Player to play videos etc eg. vlc player
3) Web Browser eg. IceWeasel/Epiphany browser/Chromium/ which ever is best
4) LibreOffice – it is also made to be use in raspbian. Don’t know of any alternatives but .

The size seems up to 3GB – 4GB to accommodate the software since it seems it will pick up a little space.
And my pick of the kodi build will be the beast but I can possibly install it myself.

You’re right – the size I am looking at now is around 4.5GB, that is with only the aforementioned applications installed! :o

I’m not going to write this off, but allocating 5GB+ just for Raspbian means alot less space for everything else, we’re talking that a 32GB card would be the recommended size for this build I think.

I forgot to mention but I did take your advice on RaspEX and it looks good – I have downloaded it but not had a chance to try it out yet. Do you know if it is a more lightweight distro than Raspbian?

Also, as for the beast build – I can add the repository in so it is ready to install, should you want it. It is just a simple click of a button really, so technically I can offer both options in one build. Makes life a bit easier I think!

All the best,
Steve
