Of course you can always compile it yourself, but for those who prefer pre-packaged binaries it seems that you are required to keep upgrading the OS version. </div>

<br></blockquote></div>I have a Nividia Geforce4 MX 4000 in an Athlon 1.4 Ghz machine running a combined FE/BE system under Ubuntu 8.04 with no issues. So I don't think the OS will pose a problem for the OP. Though it may need tweaking to get the desired performance.<br>
<br>Getting to Ubuntu 8.04 from 7.04 was a nightmare and resulted in my wife not being able to watch a couple of shows when she wanted. I seemed to have fallen into the NVIDIA driver trap as well. I finally resolved the issue by shrinking my boot partition enough to create a new one and install a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 system. From there everything loaded perfectly, including the NVIDIA drivers from the Ubuntu repositories. I didn't even have to use EnvyNG.<br>
<br>I suggest a clean install and then copy your mythconverg DB over.<br><br>
