Just curious on which version of ATI drivers are installed on this version. If it's 12.6 or I'll wait to do another full install until the stable.

12.6 by default is not an option. There are some legacy users that need < 12.6 version of the driver.
Though I don't know what version is actually shipping. If you find it out - report back :-)
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Just wanted to say I fired this up in a virtual machine to play around with it and it's looking good. I like the skin changes. I synced it with my current mysql db after making a backup and it found everything, letting me pickup where I left off even.
I've been disappointed because I can't figure out how to build xbmc packages due to all the dependency changes and I refuse to "make install" so I never got to play with the new version, but I love it! I'm planning to put it on my HTPC for testing on a real TV.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Can I use the v7 iso to upgrade from v6, without doing a fresh install and losing my settings?
Or can I achieve the same thing with "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"?

usually you have to run alsamixer as root and press "M" on the muted SPDIF channels to get sound working again on the revo

Just updated to the v7 ISO and a strangeness has appeared.
Did a clean wipe (due to another issue, unrelated to XBMC [I think] but I may toss out later to see if anyone has a clue).
Added in the Repository plugin, let it update to the latest.
Tried to add a Repository... and... XBMC froze.
It gives the downloading message, the 'needs to restart' but the OK button is blank. and it freezes hard, reset button time. Can't even putty in.
Of couse the log is wiped out.. but.. anyone else seen this?

The built in version of tvheadend in this is still screwed.
The person who packaged this in would do well to explain what on earth is going on in terms of permissions.
It's impossible to login to webgui without some messing around that involved pot luck for anyone except who knows exactly what they are doing.
It's impossible to remove the version packaged completely as it's run at bootup for anyone except a pro.
It's impossible to get settings to stick.
Lord knows how but I have managed to get into the webgui using snippets of help from all over the place.
But now have "permission denied" when adding muxes or doing anything at all in the webgui.
I've edited the superuser file to have the credentials I used when installing xbmcbuntu - no difference.
Would REALLY appreciate a quick run through of what you have to do to get this working correctly..
Many thanks.
