I have been extremely dissatisfied with Ubuntu 11.04. I have to use
it for my new laptop for the drivers, but I do not use it for my
MythTV box (I use whatever the last one was, MythBuntu 10.10 I
think). Canonical is going in unfortunate directions, IMO.<br>
<br>
Sorry to be unhelpful. But if you can, use 10.10<br>
<br>
