My mythbox is an SP130000 running Fedora 6 in a Silverstone case with a
VIA 2 card PCI riser, with a PVR500 and HD3000 cards (as well as an
HDHomeRun externally).
Installing Fedora was quite straightforward, even the very first time
(Fedora 4 back then). I followed Jarod Wilson's excellent guide and
built from SVN right from the beginning, in order to ensure the correct
configure options: (among others) --arch=c3-2 --enable-xv --enable-xvmc
--enable-xvmc-vld --enable-xvmc-pro --enable-xvmc-opengl
--enable-opengl-vsync
