One difference that was mentioned here is that Mythbuntu does not install 
pulse audio, while if you install Myth on top of a regular Ubuntu install you 
will have pulse installed. No big deal, but it seems to have caused problems 
for some. Anyway, just something to be aware of.

I think the latest Ubuntu (8.10) installs compiz, possibly something you would 
not want on a Myth system.
