I've been poking around some forums recently looking for something that will run xbmc to replace my wdtv player. I reckon the Chromebox is a great bet, particularly as Matt's script makes it such an easy set up. So I'm ready to take the plunge and buy a Chromebox in the next week or two but I have a couple of questions first.

I've never used a linux distro before and I doubt that will be too much of an issue with an OE/xbmc set up but for those times I might need to edit an xbmc user file like keyboard.xml for example, how do I go about it? In a windows environment I just navigate to the user folder. How does this happen in OE where there is no desktop environment or command lines etc?

I've order a FLIRC as i reckon it will suit my needs perfectly. How would I set the power button to directly power the Chromebox off? Mapping the 's' key to the power button would bring up the power menu where I could choose sleep, suspend, power off etc but is there way to power off in one step? I've read people have had issues waking up their devices from sleep. Given these boxes will boot in under 10 seconds, what is the advantage of putting the box into sleep?

Thanks

Dave
