Folks,
Just thought I'll share my experience setting up XBMC on my new mini (2.5 i5 with AMD GPU).

Got a kernel panic after rebooting the mini after installing all the software updates. Not a good start

All my mkvs (except one) played just fine with hardware decoding turned on. I was expecting the worst after reading the numerous threads in different forums

Was also concerned about the reports regarding heat. But looks like when the system is in steady state, the temp ranges between 50 and 60 degrees celsius. It goes as high as 85 when the cpu is crunching (say updating the library). While playing a full 1080p HD movie, it hovers around 75.
The mini didn't feel that hot to the touch (compared with my gen 1 apple tv or i7 imac)

While navigating the xbmc menu, whenever i press the up or down buttons on the apple remote, the mac's volume display pops up. Read some other threads where people suggested this is a 10.7.2 thing. Keeping fingers crossed that this gets fixed
