Hi, I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi model B I believe, I want to set up a media centre with it using openelec I know how to download and use a disk imager software to place it on SD card to install the problem I'm having is on the openelec website when I visit the download section there are arm versions which as I'm not that technically minded, I'm confused. How do I know I'm installing the right version I hope someone can help me. I'd really like to get to grips with the Pi as it looks an amazing piece of kit.
Look forward to any reply
Thanks
Kunal

I have found using this guide is useful, and yes there are several downloads:
http://openelec.tv/get-openelec/downloa ... -pi-builds
This is the download I used "OpenELEC Stable - Raspberry Pi ARM Version:4.0.7 2014-07-09 16:00:42 107.42 MB"

What's wrong with the version on the Foundation downloads page (
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)?

To get openelec, the easiest way is to get it from NOOBS.

I understand disk imaging and still use NOOBS sometimes because it is easier to reflash the SD card if one of my experiments proves disastrous.
