When I discovered MythTV, I used Knoppmyth to try it out.  It was a very
quick and easy installation...  It worked well for most things, however I
quickly found notable limitations such as the lack of easy support for SATA
drives and limited upgrade capabilities outside of newer releases of
Knoppmyth.

As Mythdora is on Fedora, and I am not a Linux God, I appreciate being able
to use things like Jarrod's guide to understand the configuration.  I plan
to use Mythdora on my next Myth incarnation (HD tuners) as it will support
my larger SATA drives and an interface I am more used to (Fedora/KDE).  The
past Mythdora was not as applicable as it was FC3, which didn't have the
Kernel packages required for my Air2PC cards.  I also appreciate the
inclusion of Mythburn, Mythstream, and MediaMVP support.

Either can save one lots of time if you have a standard (common)
configuration.
