I want to use my raspberry pi as a NAS and media center. I have a Samsung smart TV and today I start my computer and watch films over DLNA.

I want to attach the Raspberry Pi with a USB HDD to the network.

Should I use something like OpenELEC or RaspBMC (because all I read is that I have to connect it by HDMI - is it possible over network?). Or what other software do you suggest?

I also want to use it as backup drive over in the network with something like Crashplan.
