Mythbuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Beta Screenshot Tour
,----[ Quote ]
| Mythbuntu is a community built MythTV-focused distribution of Ubuntu. It aims
| at resolving the difficulties of setting up a standalone MythTV system with
| Ubuntu. MythTv as Mythbuntu becomes a full-fleshed open source DVR (Digital
| Video Recorder) application, with a solid developer community in the
| background. Its development cycle closely follows that of Ubuntu — it is also
| upgraded every six months.

Mythbuntu 8.04 Brings MythTV Improvements To Fruition
,----[ Quote ]
| The biggest improvements delivered in Mythbuntu 8.04 are the diskless client
| support and upgrading against MythTV 0.21. MythTV 0.21 alone has many
| significant changes and bug fixes, with many of them being ones that will
| appease end-users. Mythbuntu 7.10 was an excellent MythTV distribution and
| Mythbuntu 8.04 is a nice upgrade to that first major release. Mythbuntu 8.04
| beta can be downloaded today while Mythbuntu 8.04 final should arrive on (or
| slightly after) April 24, 2008 from Mythbuntu.org.

Mythbuntu Linux Media Center
,----[ Quote ]
| Mythbuntu uses the XFCE4 desktop. All unnecessary applications such as
| OpenOffice, Evolution, and a full Gnome desktop are not installed for a
| Mythbuntu installation. At any time, a user may choose to install
| ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, or xubuntu-desktop and add a full desktop
| onto their installation. This is done via the Mythbuntu Control Centre.

Linux Media Center PCs Review Roundup
,----[ Quote ]
| LinuxMCE vs. MythTV. LinuxMCE is the most amazing thing to come out of the
| multimedia world on any platform, period. But try finding an OEM carrier that
| will sell this amazing product to you, pre-installed. You won't find many.
|
| While the big box stores choose to sell the ever-lame Windows MCE, one
| provider had the guts to step into the ring and truly provide us with a
| viable Linux media appliance suitable for our living rooms. MythTV, while not
| as 'flash-bang-pretty' as LinuxMCE, has been around long enough to find
| itself in the position of being a solid, long-term project with some
| fantastic user and developer support.

Media Portal Xface Skin Version 1.0 | Competition for Vista MCE?
,----[ Quote ]
| One thing about open source software: you never know how people will improve
| it. Take Media Portal for instance. I have tried it but ultimately went with
| BeyondTV to watch TV on my computer. That, however, might change though with
| the release of Xface Skin Version 1.0.

Linux media center distro adds flashy features
,----[ Quote ]
| LinuxMCE appears to comprise a set of add-ons -- such as the MythTV DVR
| (digital video recorder), for example -- that sit on top of Kubuntu, the
| version of Ubuntu that uses KDE (K desktop environment). It adds numerous
| fancy features, including the optional alpha-blended UI (user interface)
| shown in the screenshots below.

LinuxMCE 1.1 Released -- Now Runs KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| There's also word that LinuxMCE, since it works so well with the
| KDE desktop environment, that the guys at the KDE project are
| seriously considering integrating LinuxMCE into their upcoming
| 4.0 release. Now this is HUGE! If combined in the KDE 4.0 release,
| LinuxMCE + Kubuntu would be a free, open-source competitor/aternative
| to Windows Vista Ultimate.
