[mythtv-users] Fwd: getting started

[Daryl McDonald]

Well that cleared a few things up. In retrospect I did check auto log on to
front end during install, seemed like a good idea at the time. I've had
some success with Myth tv within Ubuntu recently, reading the guide and
navigating deeper as required really helped. I'll play more with this
later, as time permits. Big time thanks to all contributors!
