That
Ubuntu is one of the most used and with best
hardware recognition Linux distributions cannot be place in doubt. It has actually come to the point where manufacturers have started show interest in developing drivers for Linux, so it was only a matter of time for a distribution like
Mythbuntu to appear.
Mythbuntu is a distribution based on
Ubuntu, that has replaced the usual office applications with
MythTV, to transform your computer in the definitive
Media Center. If it was already starting to see
computer destined to the living room, with the appearance of the
Mythbuntu system it is going to be even more common, because it allows us to tune in to the TV, record whatever we are watching, or connect remotely to a server. The functions a really Media Center should be able to do.
Mythubuntu uses
Ubuntu as a base, but as we have started before, without the normal office applications that wouldn't have any use in a
Media Center, even though they can be installed if you want from the Control Center. It also includes codecs, drivers, the Xfce Graphical interface and of course MythTV, plus specific programs to manage all the system from
Mythbuntu.
