I am thinking of getting my girls anappletv gen 1. I was wondering if i install crystalbuntu can i have access to a desktop environment as well?

What are the major differences in atv 1 and 2?

ATV1 with crystalbuntu V1 (11.eden). Theater remote URC MX-810, droidx wtih xbmc remote, or transformer tf101 with YATSE. 2 x ATV2 (V12.0 Eden).

ATV1 is basically a computer with an Intel chip inside. It's possible to even install a full copy of Mac OS X 10.5, or a full Ubuntu desktop. ATV2 is basically an iPhone without a screen.

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc
