[mythtv-users] Can anyone recommend Mythbuntu?

[Tim Shannon]

I use it, and I liked the fact that it walked you through all of the steps,
but the one thing I was hoping was going to be easier with Mythbuntu didn't
work out of the box, and that was LIRC.  I couldn't get it working right
with my Hauppage pvr 150.  It's working now with some manually compiled
drivers, but other than that it's been working great for me.  I love all of
the default options, it setups for you, and the mythbuntu control center is
great for managing everything.
