I'm new to all this and could use some help**NEWBIE**

I have worked many computers in the past and install hundreds of OS's and programs but this is my first time trying to build a linux XBMC system from bare motherboard up. What I am thinking is xbmcbuntu with video game emulators and a bluthooth remote. I have done some searching but I don't understand the language or terms that are being used. Also all the emulators I find are for MAC PC or Android. Can anyone help me understand how or what to do?
