Actually, I've answered many questions in these threads. But there is a dedicated forum for OpenELEC, and you will tend to get much better responses there, which is why I directed people there.
You're perfectly welcome to ask questions here ... but you're less likely to get as useful results by doing so.

So yes it is just another distro... but specialized in media and XBMC.

But it's not "Just another" Linux solution. The end user doesn't need to know anything about Linux to use it.
That's like trolling the car forums in a Bugatti Veyron thread.
"So, like it's just another honda civic, right?"
4 wheels, an engine, steering wheel some seats.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

It should work - what router are you using? I have no problems at all with connection to my WiFi.

Question - I installed OpenELEC on an old thumbdrive that I had laying around, and it is SSSSLLLLOOOWWW sometimes taking about a minute to open anything. Would a USB 2.0 thumb drive make any difference? (I'm not 100% sure if the one I'm using is 2.0, but if I had to take a guess, it's not.) or should I just run it off a hard drive?

Just run it on the harddrive, this way it also creates the folders on your HDD for storing local media and XBMC come presetup with these sources..
Also if you UNC path to the machine you will see all the shares
