I can't speak for what protocol comes with what distro these days, but back
when my FE/BE was Mythdora I connected to it from a Mythbuntu FE with no
problem, after updating the FE to 0.21.

More recently I've connected to my .21 BE from a Mac FE running .21-fixes
and didn't have any issues. Mythbuntu's such an easy install, why not just
try it and see what happens? :-)
