@mhop:
You can try whatever you want. This howto here shows a working way from a minimal setup to working xbmc. Other ways are existing, but I don't support in the context of this howto.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

You already got your answer, but why not follow the howto then install xubuntu-desktop

@nickr: That will heavily interfer with the upstart script
@all: We just fixed the audio drop problem with AMD gpus. The cause was that the hdmi clock did not match exact enough the video clock.
I will post a new kernel tomorrow, where we will also switch to 3.12-rc5 + hd audio + lipsync preparation + audio sync fixes. This will introduce and upstart init script change, in order to get the audio enable with xrandr

Hi. I just installed Xubuntu 13.10. Do the instructions on the first page change at all, or do we still have to follow those instructions exactly?

@fritsch: When I enable Live TV my system freezes. Is there a log or any info I can provide you to troubleshoot this?
