Thumbs and fanarts load with much less fuss. Can very much recommend it to anyone else running on an 8+ GB stick.
Edit: Just set the useddsfanart setting in advancedsettings.xml as explained in:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=59115
And now even the interface is snappy fast, even with huge fanarts! I just need to figure out how to dds the backgrounds in Confluence and I think I can just keep running from the Crystalbuntu stick for the near future. This has definitely given the poor aTV a boost - am seriously reconsidering pre-ordering a Boxee Box now that this is working so fine. That money could go towards an iPhone4 or iPad
Would you be able to give some guidance to a linux noob as to how to access the advancedsettings.xml file? I'm not able to FTP in the open the file.

Can you still use the Apple Remote and the aTV's built-in IR with Crystalbuntu?

I've rebuilt my ATV multiple times, but I am still having issues with buffering on an HD files. I am running pin's image from the internal hard drive.
This file plays perfect streamed to my desktop. Both using the same server running SAMBA.
Here is the HD file:
ViDEO CODEC..........: x264_L4.1 @ 4681 Kbps
RESOLUTiON...........: 1280 x 536
FRAMERATE............: 23.976 fps
AUDiO CODEC..........: English Dolby Digital 5.1 @ 640 Kbps
It buffers every couple of seconds, and the fps is poor. SD seems to play fine, but it takes a while to load.
dmesg
xbmc.log
On a previous attempt, I did a full ubuntu upgrade/update and things seemed to play fine after that, but after a few reboots everything broke. I guess there was a new kernel or something.... not going to try that again.

I am having an issue where some files streaming via SMB will lockup the apple tv.
Using the full image download. Updating xbmc / crystal without issue reproduces the error each time.

xbmc doesn't support BCM70015 not yet?

Welcome.
Recently I finally managed to run linux on my ATV. I'm using pin87a version. I got one tiny problem. I do not see my ATV drive, where I have my movies. Is there a way to mount it?

It's /dev/sda1, so sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/somelocation
- JeDaj - 2010-09-19
@evandena - thanks for your effort, but my partition with media files was /dev/sda4
I just did "sudo /sbin/parted", then "print" and took the largest partition. Anyway...
I'm still looking for a chance to upload my media files to ATV over FTP (like in OSX distribution for ATV). Do I need to set up FTP server on my own, or maybe there is something I can use. I'm not very familiar with linux OS.
