... which I do realize doesn't really call for a "versus."
The short version of my question is: why would you select XBMC Live over XBMC for Linux? Is it just to boot from DVD/USB drive, to avoid the power draw/heat of a HDD? Is there some speed advantage?
I didn't see anything in the wiki, nor did a sloppy search uncover anything in the forums. I began wondering while researching the best way to autoboot into XBMC, thinking Live might have an advantage there (which I haven't been able to determine either).
In any case, I appreciate anyone's insight and/or pointing out relevant documentation!
