Do any of you, or have any of you run the MythTV backend (preferably MyhthBuntu) from a Windows machine, by installing Ubuntu on the XP host machine via VirtualBox?<br>
<br>
Is this possible?<br>
If so, should it 'just work' or is it going to be a headache?<br>
<br>
Just asking because it would be an interesting solution to my hardware setup and prevent me needing to set up a new machine for the backend.<br>
