Ubuntu is one of the fastest growing Linux distributions in recent history. The popularity of Ubuntu has created numerous spin-offs. One such by-product that recently appeared on the market is called Mythbuntu.

Mythbuntu's website describes their software as "an Ubuntu derivative focused upon setting up a standalone MythTV system similar to Knoppmyth or Mythdora.

Mainly, it can be seen as a preconfigured Ubuntu install for MythTV usage.

While Mythbuntu will install a system from a blank hard drive all the way to a working MythTV system using the install ISO, it can also install on top of a already installed Ubuntu 7.10 system using a installer available at the Mythbuntu website.

Here we will highlight some of the key features of Mythbuntu and elaborate on the features that set it apart from Knoppmyth and Mythdora.

One of the more important attributes to notice about Mythbuntu is that it is based off the of MythTV 0.20.2-fixes branch. While Knoppmyth also employs the MythTV 0.20.2-fixes branch, Mythbuntu has an automated weekly build that is available for download from their site. This means you will have the most up to date MythTV system right when you install it.
