Unfortunately the last stable release is so old it no longer works with 
current stable Linux versions.  The point-releases to make Myth run on 
modern distros only upgraded the backend/frontend so you can't use the 
plugins and exporting is broken.  That's why so many non-developers are 
trying to use SVN versions.  You might be able to get a full Myth 
"old-stable" to install on an old distro installed from CD-Rom, but it 
would break the first time you tried to do any kind of update.
