Sorry about the blank email - the perils of trying to respond to this
list on a cell phone!

It's interesting that mythbuntu has 0.25 and 0.27 - the current
version is 0.26. Or is 0.26 the current version on mythbuntu, with the
option upgrade to (not yet final release) 0.27 or downgrade to 0.25?

Having something that works and leaving it is a *very* difficult habit
to establish. Good luck with that and the WAF!
