</div>be forewarned that Mythbuntu is not designed for *dedicated* frontends<br>
as it requires you to run a window manager and has some tie ins that<br>
require a keyboard/mouse be connected.<br>
<br>
It's quite nice, but not there yet as a dedicated frontend "out of the box".<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I would have to disagree with that statement. My combined frontend/backend running Mythbuntu 8.04 works quite well as a dedicated device with only a remote for input. As with all things Myth, it comes down to how it is configured and used.<br>
