[mythtv-users] Can anyone recommend Mythbuntu?

[Richard Morton]

Hi,

I've installed Mythbuntu on a dedicated system and it's great. The XCFE UI
is a nice low cpu graphical environment but the base install of mythbuntu is
designed for mythbuntu to be a dedicated system (but its not much work for
it to be a hybrid desktop/pvr setup...) I would recommend using using a
distro which is dedicated as it is easier to install and use.... but with
all myth systems it takes a while and a bit of tenacity to learn and
understand linux.

My setup is:

Asus p5q motherboard
intel q6600 quad core, core2 cpu
asus nvidia geforce 8500 512mb pcie  passively cooled card with
dvi/vga/svideo
4gb ram
5 x 500gb sata drives in software raid 5 using mdadm
usb uirt
nova-t 500 dual dvb tuner
gyration airmouse and keyboard
mythbuntu 8.04 with a few drivers from the chipset suppliers (atheos lan and
realtek audio)

I would recommend mythbuntu, if you have a spare hd, give it a try...
