I went off Ubuntu when they installed the 'mythtv' user with a strange made-up 
password that they didn't tell the installer, and that didn't work with the 
mythtv package that was provided in the very same install. 'security' shouldn't 
mean preventing the user from using the features they install from the distro on 
their own system.

(Ubuntu may have changed that 'feature' by now. I don't care, they lost my 
interest already.)
