The problem with LinuxMCE is that is promises much, yet delivers little. I built a system on supposedly 'reference' hardware, yet even after a few weeks of hacking away at it, was still unable to reproduce most of the features they listed on their site. I agree it does look amazing, but from a vanilla install you'll have a while to go before you're happy with it.

"Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site."

They couldn't even be bothered to work out that i was running Linux....

**sigh**

Well, I s'pose Ubuntu will have a ways to go before it's as cool as Apple!
