If you're doing a public demo I think you'd had to be nuts to use
anything other than the latest stable release - which is 0.18.1.
Despite what one of the other posters said, 0.18.1 runs very well and
there are many of us on this list running it quite happily on FC3 and
FC4, for example. The reason for that is that Jarod Wilson's guide is
the best to get a MythTV system up and running and it uses FC3 or FC4
and ATRPMs for binary RPMs.

Good luck - hope it goes well.
