[mythtv-users] Lean Distro for Myth-Frontend

[Matthias Thyroff]

Hello, everybody, 

can you recommend a lean distribution for installing a myth frontend?

I have a PC running now as thin client (ltsp - diskless system), which more or 
less works but the thin client adds some complexity for me which I would like 
to circumvent (I could not get sensors to work, for example). 

I read a post somewhere about a ubuntu based "fat diskless client", that would 
be ok for me, but I have not found information on how to set this up. 

So I thought I could install Linux on a 256Mb or 512Mb CF card, I have a 
CF-to-IDE adaptor, but it seems that Ubuntu is too large for that. 

On the other hand, there is, for example "damn small linux", which just is 
about 50MB, but I am not sure wether it will be easy to install the myth 
frontend on that... missing dependencies, too limited kernel, myth not 
available as a package...?

So, here the question (again): Do you have experience with some lean 
distribution which will allow, for example, "apt-get install 
mythtv-frontend"?

Thanks in advance, best regards

	Matthias
