Mythbuntu is an officially recognized derivative of Ubuntu, but it is not supported by Canonical. Its main focus is on setting up a standalone personal video recorder (PVR), but you can simply add it to any other edition of Ubuntu to benefit from its TV integration features.
I covered setting up the MythTV program in detail in Chapter 3, so there’s no need to repeat that information here, other than to mention that the full Mythbuntu installation uses the Xfce desktop (see Figure 15-7) and doesn’t come with applications such as OpenOffice.org. If you need further information, you can get it from the website at http://mythbuntu.org.
