What is Mythbuntu?

Mythbuntu is a media center operating system based on Ubuntu, integrates the MythTV Media center software as its main function, and does not install with all of the programs included with Ubuntu.  It can be used to prepare a standalone system or for integration with an existing MythTV network. Mythbuntu uses Xfce as its default desktop and provides a graphical Control Centre to configure the system.
