I have the Revo running Karmic with XBMC and the Keysonic keyboard. It's a pretty good solution, and only has occasional digital audio output issues which require restarting XBMC. I plan to replace the Keysonic with a PS3 remote and bluetooth dongle and mount the Revo on the rear of the television. Eventually. Right now, it ain't broke. I am happy to assist in the setup, but really Google found all the howtos for me.
