I'm considering installing MythTv in the near future. I think installing the Myth Backend will (hopefully) be easy on an Ubuntu box, because MythTV has been around for a while, and there's good documentation. I'd really like to use my Mac Mini as a front end--without having to dual boot into linux or run a copy of linux in a VM on the Mini. Before reading this article, I wasn't sure if it was even possible to do that. It's good to know that you can just run the MythTV front end as an application on OS X. Thanks for the tip! Great post.
