Tried the XBMC installer for windows and thought it was amazing, but because my graphics card doesnt seem to want to work with windows XBMC I want to try the linux version....

Is there an all in one type download that will install linux and XBMC or an iditos guide to what version of linux etc etc..

I dotn do linux at all and so the easier the better

This is what you need to do:
Install Ubuntu.
Install Envy or your graphiccards driver how you want (envy is simple but only works on ATI and Nvidia)
on Hardy:

Code:

sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk
sudo envyng-gtk

And follow onscreen instructions

XBMC is install by adding this in System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Third Party Software and doing this in terminal after.

You might need to add multiverse and universe in System -> Admininstration -> Software sources to install envy
