[mythtv-users] Thinking of switching distros - from Gentoo to Mythbuntu

What i have found to be the easiest solution is to use mythwelcome.
That way if the frontend crashes, everything falls back to mythwelcome
instead of a desktop and a user can simply hit the OK button on the
remote and the frontend will start back up.
In mythbuntu you can use mythwelcome by simply putting the following
line in the /usr/bin/mythfrontend scrtip:

MYTHWELCOME=true

Works great and my wife, who probably uses myth more than i do, only
ever uses the remote.
