Linux HOW-TO: Automated efficient XBMC install - Ubuntu 12.10/13.04 mini based
@roach9

A lot of folks on this thread are using Ubuntu 12.10, however, I lean towards the LTS releases such as 12.04 - it has support until April, 2017. 12.10 support ends April 2014.

All the LTS releases now get 5 years of support and are rolled out every 2 years.

I can't recommend automatic updates for this type of install...whole point is to treat it as an appliance and give it as little user intervention as possible. Auto updates will likely cause the odd hiccup as the kernel and other parts get updated.
If I helped out pls give me a +

A bunch of XBMC instances, big-ass screen in the basement + a 20TB FreeBSD, ZFS server.
