[mythtv-users] Dilema: Upgrade hardware, downgrade OS

[Damian]

Hello all,

I'm having a nightmare with the new version of Ubuntu. Basically my 
graphics card needs the very latest beta driver to work(and even then 
I've not got the resolution for my projector sorted), but then the 
computer can't run myth as it less me the that Nvidia drivers require 
CPU's with SSE (which mine doesn't have.

So, I could either upgrade my CPU, motherboard and memory or I could 
just go back to Ubuntu 7.10 (which was working fine). And stop pressing 
update buttons.

The geek in me wants to keep with the latest and greatest. The time 
pressured family man in me is sick of things not working and just wants 
a system he can forget about.

One of the things I love about Ubuntu is the MythBuntu package. This has 
made my MythTV experience SO much easier and enjoyable. I'd have 
probably given up on it months ago if it wasn't for MythBuntu making 
Myth just work. The only issues I have had in the last year have been OS 
problems in getting the right resolution etc. Myth has behaved well.

So, one other consideration is will MythBuntu continue to support Ubuntu 
7.10?

I keep making firm decisions one way, then changing my mind so I'd like 
to hear any thoughts from you good people.

Cheers
Damian
