Long term Linux user, played with multiple distros over the years.<br>
Mid term MythTV user, first around 0.17 then came back to it about 0.19. Over the past several years, I've generally tracked just behind master, compiling from source. However I'm finding less and less and time available to maintain my systems to the level I would like.<br>
<br>
I have one dedicated MBE, one dedicated FE, and a few multi-purpose machines on the network. While I've used Gentoo primarily in the past, at the moment most of my machines are running some form Debian (SID).<br>
<br>
So, I'm looking for a packaged version of myth, one that tracks the latest *release* (not looking for something tracking master here) fairly closely, and is reasonably stable. I do have one machine in my house which will continue to run Gentoo, but I'm more then willing to determine which git version the packaged version is running and manually build on that one machine, in truth I don't run myth much on that machine anyways.<br>

It's all the standard ubuntu stuff, and really streamlines the process for setting up mythtv, mysql, remote controls, etc. Basically, it mostly lets you ignore it as a Linux box and treat it as an appliance -- very little Linux tweaking is necessary.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My one complaint with mythbuntu is the inability to easily stop popup messages overtaking the mythfrontend. The update manager has a habit of popping up despite all the settings telling it not to. I eventually bludgeoned it into submission, but it was much harder than it should have been.</div>
