[mythtv-users] KnoppMyth versus FC?

[Jack Trout]

I have tried both, Knoppmyth and FC2/3 both by jarods guide, and knoppmyth 
R5V10 and R5V12 and some others, and I found that Fedora requires a little 
more work on the backend to create than knoppmyth, but it seems that when 
you do an apt-get upgrade and myth packages are replaced it can cause issues 
if you already have a user called mythtv etc. I also found issues using the 
cd for frontend only cases where I just wanted to use a machine temporarily. 
since myth .18 I could no longer run the front end sucessfully on my laptop 
and my now dedicated frontend laptop p3 850 512mb, and fronted p3 1g 256mb, 
those are fairly low end machines, but when I install fedora core, it works 
fine. and as more people on the list use FC3 or greater, its fairly easy to 
get a response often even from the experts Axel and Jarod, (not shorting 
anyone else), although knoppmyth does alot of thier stuff via a PHPBB forum 
on thier own site. just my opinion, but Fedora Core is the easier way in the 
long term if you want to install and forget about it
