glad to see I'm not the only one who is frustrated at this issue

absolute minimal linux server supporting;

working hdmi audio (nv 100/alsa 1.0.21)
evinyatar's atvclient
ssh/smb services
any necessary tweaks/optimizations (cpufreq, etc)
ability to update and compile from svn with all necessary dependancies
support both usb stick and internal drive installation
And would anyone have the expertise, time and patience to support and perfect it?
I am extremely interested in this. I am currently using the USB img in this thread but that kills the ability for me to run hamachi and join up with all the other machines I have streaming media. I need to be running linux to accomplish this. If you build it, they will come and I will help in bug testing it.

I'm waiting my broadcom device. Then you can count on me as a beta tester.
I'd like to have a set top box capable of everything xbmc just does, plus satellite tv.
I already set a VDR server, and I'm testing tvheadend.
To use xbmc as VDR client it's necessary to patch it. Instead tvheadend uses the htps protocol, which is supported by the latest xbmc.

Yeah, I'd dig this too. I've done a similar hack to my Western Digital TV to get network access to my Mac mini media server. The WDTV boots off a small thumbdrive and everything works great. When/if I need to boot back into the original firmware, I just unplug the thumbdrive and power up. Works great and I'd love to see my AppleTV do the same thing! Thanks for doing this!

Very interesting scenarios..

Just found this thread, and it has some good reading for XBMC on ubuntu.
But, shouldn't it be moved to the Linux forums? XBMC for OSX and AppleTV forums was
not the place I would expect to find a Ubuntu thread, regardless of the hardware..

i would like to see it to.
tried the one on the first page (without crystal at the moment) and everything worked fine except the audio over hdmi.
