I got XBMC 12 (Frodo) working on my Linux Mint 13 (Maya) - Mate laptop. Nice!!! For a couple of years now I have kept my crusty old WinXP laptop on my office desk to serve as my NPVR Client (since NPVR won't run in a VM w/o the video h/w acceleration). Now I can reclaim that desk space!
Thanks to sub and all who have made this possible. It was pretty easy to get setup, I only had a little trouble getting it configured. Some quick comments on the wiki for this on this site:
1. It was not entirely clear to me that I did not need to add/install/configure anything in NPVR for XBMC to work, aside from the default NPVR setting.
2. The XBMC setup info is good, but I think the description at the link below is a little better for locating the settings (helped me anyway).

Thanks again!

ps. If anyone cares, getting XBMC running on Mint 13 (should work for Ubuntu as well) was pretty simple, but the Software Manager (GUI) install didn't work. The solution is at the bottom of the page here: http://www.noobslab.com/2013/01/install-...buntu.html and consists of three shell commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
Also, interesting link on setting up your XBMC:
