Here is a nice how to video as well that goes over the booting from a USB stick option: It involves installing Crystalbuntu, a port of Ubuntu with media player options using XBMC. I know that the link says things about XBMC but it is for installing Ubuntu on it so that you can run XBMC too, its a very good media player option. It has both Mac and PC/Linux instructions in there depending on what you have to work with. I would highly recommend the first: In the case you don't like it, you can just power off, unplug the USB and, then restart everything would be back to normal. They will walk you through two different options: running from a USB stick and not touching the Apple TV hard drive, or installing Ubuntu (CrystalBuntu) on the Apple TV itself. If you follow these recently updated instructions everything should go fine. Most of the time when installing Linux on the Apple TV, you are doing it in order to unlock more capabilities when it comes to video playback and options I assume this is what you are looking for.
