What about openelec?

Thanks for the suggestion. I find the lack of fstab etc and not being able to build eg: tvheadend clients from git etc on openelec quite constrictive.
Including running my backup scripts for nightly thumbnail cleanup and thumbnail preloading/populating etc and backing up to my nas.
Things I do as standard from Ubuntu.

How far away is Openelec from Standard Ubuntu?
Am reading up on it now....
