In my opinion, as long that a "simple apt-get install
everything-needed-for-mythbuntu" can be done with one or
two commands, and if the steps to do so are well
described, those interested in a Linux based PVR shouldn't
have more troubles than now.<br>

<div>I think Mythbuntu has provided more than just a set of
packages. It has its own software (eg Mythbuntu Control
Centre) and a fantastic set of defaults and installation
scripts that have made Mythbuntu one of the easiest
flavours of MythTV to set up and maintain. Well done and
thank you to everyone involved. I'll be very, very sad to
you see you go.<br>

My installation is Ubuntu 12.04 desktop with MythTV added using
Synaptic. It's working well for me, except for some glitches* which
are not related to MythTV.<br>

*GLITCH: Greatest Lemon In The Company's History. Back in the late
1970s I took some computer classes at Boston University. The
professor worked for IBM and told us that the term GLITCH came from
a problem with one of the computers on one of the Apollo missions
that could have resulted in a catastrophe. I haven't found
supporting documentation, but it's a good story.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I used them to build/rebuild all my nearly stock frontends very quickly. I had little fear of upgrading them. My dedicated backend started with mythbuntu, but it is not a stock install. I let it update the packages, but have kept the OS at 12.04 LTS.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I am not familiar with Ubuntu server, but I would be interested in seeing the steps required to recreate a mythbuntu-like install. I plan to update my backend completely with the next LTS.
