MythTV on latest Ubuntu - Guide

by Adi Rabinovich

ubuntu_logo.pngUbuntu is quickly become the most popular Linux distribution. It is updated often, includes the latest Kernel, and sports a nice over-the-web auto-installer to add sea of custom applications.

Of course, MythTV is never known for it’s turn-key installation, not yet, anyways.

The latest version, 7.04 Feisty Fawn, improves one of the most lagging area of Linux, the Wirelss Network support. Frankly, when I installed it, it still had troubles recognizing my wireless USB adapter. But, you probably would want to run a network to your HTPC anyhow, to ensure high quality of service. Or, just purchase one of the adapters on their supported list.

So, here’s a handy guide, straight from the Ubuntu community guide itself, on how to install it in as few of steps as possible.

Now that the computers are dirt cheap, and AMD X2 dual-core processors starts at under $100, you have no more excuses.
