[mythtv-users] XBMC questions

Funny the things you pick up from reading these posts. I'm not even a
Ubuntu guy (I'm on CentOS and use Axel's excellent RPM repos) but I
read a post called "Import Announcement for people using my Ubuntu
repository" post because it mentioned 0.22 - and hey presto I learn
that quite a few folks seem to be using XBMC as a frontend. I couldn't
get this up and running on my machine so haven't had a chance to try
it out. One of the posts said "We have all our movies, TV shows and
music on XBMC and use MythFrontend for TV only. I will look into XBMC
universal so hopefully I can use XBMC for everything including
TV/recording watching and relegate Myth to backend services only".

Does that mean that quite of a few of you are using the XBMC frontend
for almost everything?
What's your feedback?
And does it all work with a remote control?
And does anyone have it working on CentOS 5.x?

Regards,
Phill
