INSTALL KODI ON FLASH DRIVE AND TV HOW TO
This guide explains how to achieve it using Ubuntu 8.04 for now. Any more dissent release seems affected by a regression bug #385076 and it need to be resolved first. If you want sound over HDMI, you have to use at least alsa-driver-1.0.18a and NVIDIA 100.14.19 drivers that compile only on Ubuntu 8.04. That said, setting up Linux can be a bit tricky. XBMC works fine under the AppleTV OS, but there are a few pro's for having Linux and some might just prefer it.

If you plan on installing Linux on your AppleTV, you should definitively start there. Installing Linux on the AppleTV is already quite well documented and easy thanks to atv-bootloader.
