Yes - raring is out of support. Please update as soon as possible, best is follow the howto again.
Ubuntu does not allow to build raring packages anymore via their ppa.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I'm getting 'crashes' that I don't know how to debug:
Sometimes xbmc is closed (it's not important) but upstart keeps respawning it within a second, and it keeps crashing, so I have about 3 thousand lines of
[23477.279973] init: xbmc main process (16778) terminated with status 1
[23477.279998] init: xbmc main process ended, respawning
[23492.307343] init: xbmc main process (16785) terminated with status 1
[23492.307395] init: xbmc main process ended, respawning
[23507.336532] init: xbmc main process (16836) terminated with status 1
[23507.336556] init: xbmc main process ended, respawning
in dmesg
there's no xbmc-crashlog in my home folder, if there's any log I can post here I will. If this problem is unrelated to xbmc and it's upstart's fault I'd like to know
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solved.
First, X wouldn't start because it had no permissions. I had followed the tutorial and ran the dpkg-reconfigure x11-commons but it seems like doing a dist-upgrade broke the permissions.
Then xbmc couldn't find the r600 driver, because the user was not in the 'video' group. I don't know why that happened, because it was working before, which implies that the user was in the group.
Anyway, it's working now.
Thanks

Don't buy anything. Build my vdpau-settings branch from source - there is an option to "just" disable mpeg-2 decoding.
