Mythbuntu

June 26, 2007

Hi,

I’m involved in the setting up of Mythbuntu which is an Ubuntu derivative focused upon setting up a standalone MythTV system similar to Knoppmyth or Mythdora. On top of just been MythTV we also hoping to make it easy for the user to setup the following (although not all in the first release)

  • Live disc frontend
  • Diskless frontend
  • Easy installation/configuration of frontend and backend masters/slaves
  • Easy use of LVM partitions
  • Sharing of videos/recordings/music over SMB/NFS
  • Setting up NAS for video/recording/music storage
  • Easy installation/configuration LIRCD

However I’m interested in what other features you’d like to see added in the future and what would make it more of the ideal solution for you to use?

EDIT  The alpha2 has now been released
