Star Ubuntu, MythTV As a HTPC Operating System
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 28th Mar 2006 16:48 UTC, submitted by anonymous
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu This project combines Ubuntu and MythTV into a lightweight, undemanding HTPC computer. "The plans were, roughly, to install a hard drive, move to a more powerful Linux distribution, and add PVR capabilites to the system. Because the computer was already situated in my living room, making it into a personal video recorder was an obvious choice, though doing this on a Mini-ITX Linux system would surely take a bit of finesse."

I understand this. Perhaps a motherboard upgrade was necessary then.
