[mythtv-users] Best distro for EPIA?

My ME6000 should arrive tomorrow.  As I prepare for it, I'd like to get 
some suggestions as to the best distribution to use with it -- Redhat, 
Gentoo, Debian, etc.  I know Torsten Schenkel has put up instructions 
on getting Myth working on the exact set-up I'm using (ME6000, PVR350) 
under Debian.  Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I will be using Myth and all its modules (mythgame and mythmusic 
especially) almost exclusively on this machine.  I know asking for the 
"best distro" usually starts a holy war, but since the EPIA is a 
speciality board and I want its onboard video to work well (just in 
case the PVR350 doesn't satisfy me 100%) as well as its SPDIF audio, I 
guess this is all good to know.

Also, I'm moderately experienced in Linux and setting machines up, so 
the difficulty level of getting a distro working is not quite as 
important -- I'm looking for best speed, compatibility, ability to get 
Myth running, etc.

Thanks a lot!
