Well I recall that when I started off, I couldn't make it compile. I 
just kept coming back every few months and eventually it did - I 
guess the bugs got fixed. Since I got it working, it's been in "if it 
ain't broke, don't fix it" mode and still running 0.21.

At some point I intend firing up a new DomU and installing a later 
version (0.22 at the moment, more likely 0.23 by the time I get round 
to it). My one frontend has enough disk space left o install a newer 
version of MythBuntu alongside it.

I too have been wondering if I should run a backend in Dom0, and 
whether it would have any performance benefits. But since I don't 
have the spare cash for a new machine, I think I'll leave it along 
for the time being.
