Hey-ho, here I am at last. Have had LinuxMCE on my to-do list for a long time and I'm finally getting it off the ground.
Hope to use this page to show my setup with plenty of detail and comments in case anyone would want to duplicate/ learn from it.

- Presently, I seem to have a problem if I switch to the KDE desktop from the UI... desktop works fine but switching back to UI seems to hang up the MD or possibly the orbiter or both. I think the core is still working but haven't confirmed that.
