I am upgrading my desktop to a total of 280GB hdd space and 1GB + 256MB RAM
and I am going to use that as my web/mysql server and mythtv box. What would
be your recommendation for a distro for those purposes on the same box? I am
thinking Gentoo because I like the way you can control everything and the
way MythTV installs. I like Ubuntu for the ease of use, but I don't like the
way MythTV is installed and set up. Fedora makes MythTV easy as pie, but
sometimes does things in a funky way from other distros(IMO). I haven't
tried MythTV on FreeBSD, but I have used it as a web server and loved it.
Fast and simply installing the ports made everything work together. So, what
do you all think?
Also, I have a 200GB  and an 80GB drive. Would it be better to use LVM and
if so, how much space should I set aside for my / if I want to use the rest
for MythTV storage?
