But if you have ever tried to do that on a nuc without a swiss watchmaker guild certificate ...

Before the days of
$ sudo mysql mythconverg

Their anal obsession of not using -pmythtv drove me nuts, as does the obsession with user 'mythtv'

My backend is not a frontend. I often use a macbook as the frontend and that hardware has not changed from 31 days although John and I spent days-n-days sorting out a 32 build which may indeed do different stuff with the graphics

Thanks for the heads-up on ubuntu and 32.
I've been using it like this for a month, so I've time to think. besides the VMs are doing important stuff

I guess I wanted to hear that someone was using mythtv on ubuntu.
James Abernathy is using a newish nuc as a backend, what distro are you using?
