I will be experimenting with Arch and OpenElec mostly. I got OpenElec running on my Pi model B, and I was even able to get it talking. I did have to do some unconventional things with it though, as OpenElec appears to create its system partition on first boot. So I had to boot up the Pi, wait about 10 minutes to be sure it did everything it was supposed to do, pull the plug and then unzip the Kodi screen reader into the .kodi/addons folder on the newly created system partition. As for Arch, I have been able to make it run with MATE on the old beast, but it's really slow, as this is the older single-core 700MHz. I haven't tried getting Speakup working yet, but my goal is to get the Pi 2 and work with that more extensively instead of continuing to mess with the model B. Sent from my pot of coffee
