Welcome back to our MythTV Distro Roundup. In this second of three parts we will be looking at a ready-to-use MythTV Linux Distro that comes from a different slice of the Linux family tree. MythBuntu is built upon Ubuntu, a powerful, and rather popular Linux distribution aimed at new users. With that thought in mind, it should be interesting to see just how well it performs. So let's get started...

Installation

MythBuntu comes as a livecd with the ability to both boot to a live environment and also act as a front-end for an existing MythTV install. It can also be installed directly to the disk. The LiveCD boots up to a basic Ubuntu desktop allowing you some limited desktop functionality. The initial boot screen offers you, interestingly enough, a list of well over thirty different languages with English as the default choice. You also have the option to check the CD for defects, test your system memory, or just bypass the disk and boot from the hard drive.

Bootup times from boot screen to initial setup screen are reasonable, but nothing to write home about.
