There are a number of success stories on the web (which I'm sure you already knew), although I haven't yet loaded XBMC myself.

Anything specific you were looking for?

I'm currently using raspbmc on my 256mb ram model B. It's reasonably smooth but you definitely don't get the same performance out of it as you do with a PC. There are more than a few random crashes but if you don't mind the hassle then it's a nice option. If you're going to go this route then I'd suggest installing XBMC to a USB and not to the SD card and stay away from SAMBA shares, NFS is probably the best option here (I recommend this for all XBMC setups not just raspberry pi). It is smooth enough to be a daily driver and hopefully the random crashes will lesson now that frodo is out of beta.

ahh, crashes are not good. Thanks for the input.

Maybe I will stick with XBMC running on a media player like Xios Media Play. http://www.pivosgroup.com/xios.html

I recently bought this for $84 (usually $120), replaced the Android 4 with native Linux (XBMC) and seems to run pretty good, no crashes as yet but I only had it for a week.
