Sorry if this is covered somewhere else, and this is in no way a feature request, just a question. I was wondering what the long term plan for an xbmc linux distribution is. Obviously Ubuntu makes sense now given where xbmc is in development (already very impressive, thanks!) but in the long run you clearly don't want a box under your tv booting up a full featured desktop OS. I see the threads about running xbmc without Gnome or KDE or booting from a flash drive, which is all cool - just wondering where it's going.
Are there any plans to work on making a platform that is more appliance-like - something that boots very quickly and only has the bare minimum dependencies installed? I understand this would be non trivial, but it's also something that a wider group of people could work on like linux experts who might not know a lot of C/C++. Is making an xbmc linux distro of some kind something that the developers are interested in working on down the line after the core application is feature complete? Or is this something that end users should be figuring out for themselves?
