I know it may have been covered throughout this thread, but at over 30 pages and many revisions hehe..
Also does work like normal with the Microsoft MCE Remote out of the box ye?
Also got a guide to make a USB bootable thing to install 9.11
Exactly same process i guess to install this ye?
The main advantage over vanilla is that this version is customized with settings and programs. It does all the easy work for you and also includes some bugfixes. See the second post of this thread with all the details. If Microsoft MCE Remote support is included in vanilla, it's also supported in this version. No improvements or drawbacks on this side.
Another advantage is that this built contains the latest Ubuntu packages with security and stability fixes. If you decide to install vanilla however you could also upgrade manually.
If you're a more experienced user, like X3lectric, install xbmc on your local harddisk and customize by hand. This won't end you up with all the clutter you don't need.
