It works with Fedora and Ubuntu. I’m surprised to see a Linux version showing up by Hulu but I’m glad it’s available. The video below shows the Linux version in action. It’s not available in Ubuntu’s package manager so you will have to keep an eye out for updates when available.

Dell is going to start selling computers with Ubuntu on it. While I think this is a great idea they are lacking some major things.

* At this time, we are not including any support for proprietary audio or video codecs that are not already distributed with Ubuntu 7.04. These include MPEG 1/2/3/4, WMA, WMV, DVD, Quicktime, etc. We are evaluating options for providing this support in the future.

Not supporting some major media formats is a big deal. I’m not sure why they thought it would be a good idea to sell the machine with ubuntu without popular audio formats. Maybe this is the idea, to offer something people wanted but not make it good enough that anyone would want to buy it. Let us hope they fix this soon.

Well I’ll stick with my anti-Tivo articles for a little longer. Here is a tutorial on how to setup Ubuntu and MythTV. Step by step on how to do it all. I’m not saying it would be easy to do if you have no experience with Linux but if you have an older machine laying around I would give it a try. MythTV is getting a lot better with support for the most common hardware. If you are not familiar with MythTV click here to learn more.
