I've got XBMC on an Acer Revo nettop, and having a little always-on Ubuntu server has various other uses for me.
Apt-getting installs/updates to XBMC rather than jumping through whatever hoops you need to for this is a blessing too.
One downside, you'd need to buy a 3rd party remote and USB-IR receiver and get it working with Ubuntu/XBMC. (At least I did, I think the newer version has one built in).
I'd like to get rid of IR remote with non-standard receiver and replace it with Bluetooth one (Sony PS3 Blu-Ray remote). Anyone has experience, how long the batteries last in this thing?
