At what point can I safely start using Frodo on my my HTPC's? I started using Eden at Beta 1 so I hope Frodo will be stable enough at beta 1. Are any of the latest nightlies stable enough to use on a daily basis? I'm excited about new features and want to take a new stab at sql since Frodo has some better support from what I read.

It's been pretty stable for quite some time...

Good to know. I'm testing it on my computer now and will deploy it to my HTPC's later if all goes well. it would be nice if we could set up XBMC to auto update.

Is OpenELEC an addon? I thought I read about a new distro called that but I could be wrong. I downloaded it and it appeared to be a Linux archive which I can't open on Windows.

No its not a addon its a whole distro with xbmc. Its distributed as a Linux archive because probably .bz2 retains all Linux file permissions or whatever.

Perhaps that will help?
Pre-frodo is pretty great and stable irrespective though if you want openelec+pre-frodo you need to use a openelec nightly revision as the default openlelec 2.0 ships with Eden + pvr.
