Through some various circumstances out of my control, my Arch Linux box died and I need to reinstall the OS.
I've read the forum posts about a minimal Ubuntu install, but I use the machine for more than just XBMC. Having a fully working distro is a must.
That being said, I've had some experiences in the past where the XBMC version I obtain from the distro repos lags significantly behind the latest. Anybody have any thoughts as to which distro typically has the most up to date XBMC in their repos? Yeah, I can always compile it manually, but I'd rather have it pre-packaged and easily updatable along with the rest of the OS. Figured I'd ask before I start rebuilding Arch or trying Fedora/*buntu again.
