I'll second Mike's statements. I just built a Mythbuntu system on a laptop, so that I can run MythTV demos at Software Freedom Day tomorrow, and was very impressed. Everything except for my quirky remote control "just worked"... even HD playback, on a 1.4GHz Pentium M, with an ATI R2V50 chipset almost worked enough to use...
