Here's a great quote to start this out on.
sabat: ya, I'll never forget the name vail. :) when I was reading the suprised and annoyed peoples comments, I was thinking of walking down the aisle, lifting the womans vail, and seeing some ugly chick that isn't what you expected. I thought the analogy fit.
==Installing XBMC on Fedora 12==
Janjacobs also wrote a how-to on xbmc, here's it is.
XBMC by default has no rpm's, and compiling doesnt work due to some error in the python library.
however, someone was kind enough to compile working rpm's out of the SVN branch, making XBMC a nice piece of quality software to add to your HDA expirience.
