My BE started life as a dual Opteron server, which I have P to V'ed and am
now running as a VM on ESXi 5. My tuner is an HDHomeRun Prime. The box is
currently Ubuntu 11.04 with 0.24-1 I think. I plan on upgrading it to
Mythbuntu 12.04 shortly.  My storage an an Apple Xserve RAID connected over
fiber. No issues whatsoever.
