i'll second this.  KnoppMyth is an excellent distro for someone
starting out with Myth.  you should feel fairly at home with this
distro since you've used Debian; KnoppMyth is based on Knoppix, which
is based on Debian.
easy install, great support and resources (mysettopbox.com).
if you're using fairly standard hardware it's a no muss, no fuss
 solution. ;)
