Agreed, though I use Mythbuntu for frontends, and Ubuntu + myth for
backends.  You can certainly install Mythbuntu and make it work as a server,
but I find the lack of gnome and some other standard Ubuntu components makes
the configuration of the other parts of the system more difficult (assuming
your backend does something besides myth, like mine does).  You can also
install Mythbuntu and then install the Ubuntu-desktop package and get
approximately the same thing.  To each their own, but I find the best part
is ability to choose.  Good luck!
