For those of you brave enough to grab a Raspberry PI for about 35 bucks here is an easy way to set it up.....you have several options for operating systems to install....also XMBC is available for the PI directly from RASPBMC
The installers offered here require a wired network connection with DHCP on the Pi’s first bootup, this is the recommended installation method and you should use this install type where possible.
If you wish to install Raspbmc to a USB drive, create a file on the fat partition called ‘usb‘
Raspbmc has a simple UI installer - just pick your platform below.
Installing on Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7)
Installing on Mac OS X (10.5 or later) and Linux
In addition to running on the Raspberry Pi, Berryboot also supports Android tablets, TV sticks and boards that have an Allwinner A10 processor.

Walkthrough
If your Pi is connected to the Internet BerryBoot will try to detect your location based on your IP-address, and set the right timezone automatically. Verify that it is correct and press “ok”
Select where you want to store the operating system files, and press “format” You can install the operating system files on the SD card itself or an external USB stick/disk. Be aware that if you choose an external drive, the files of the operating system will be stored there, but you still need to keep the SD card in the Pi to boot from.
WARNING: all existing files on the disk will be erased.
Select which operating system you want to install. You can add more later.
It will download the files from the Internet automatically.
In the Berryboot menu editor you can install more operating systems, rename them, delete them, etc. Press “exit” to exit the editor and start using the operating system you installed.
