Can’t wait for my card to finally get supported.

Providing an Ubuntu based MythTV distribution that is easy to configure, maintain, and use. Mythbuntu 7.10 Public Beta Posted October 3rd, 2007 by Daviey The Mythbuntu team is pleased to announce the Beta of Mythbuntu-7.10. Together with this release, we’re opening the gates of our very own Mythbuntu forums at ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301.

Please feel free to discuss and seek help with Mythbuntu. Please continue to report bugs to Launchpad launchpad.net/mythbuntu.
We’ve fixed a lot of bugs since Alpha 4 and also introduced some new features. Please see below for a list of new features and known problems. New Features For a quick summary of what you’ll see on this disk:

    *
  • Xfce based setup. No more openbox, it’s not even installed on the disk
  • *

  • Network Manager included. You can do wifi networks both during and after install with ease.
  • *

  • When quiting mythfrontend, you are brought back to an Xfce desktop. You can administer the machine from here and change all settings.
  • *

  • On CD Repository works properly
  • *

  • VNC can be installed from multiple locales on disk
  • *

  • Video drivers don’t pull from webhosts during install in any cases
