You've really been running Linux since 93?  That's like since day  
one!  Or did you mean Unix?  Ignoring the really funky machines, I've  
taken a meandering path from VMS, to Ultrix, to SunOS, to IRIX, to  
Slowaris (Solaris), to Linux (and most recently riding roman in the  
BSD camp with Darwin/OSX :-). I just wish everybody would stop  
fiddling with where they place their stinking config files!

What distribution are most MythTV users running?  I started with  
Fedora, but had a heck of a time every time an update happened.  I  
asked one of our RedHat jockeys at work "how do you go from FC5 to  
FC6?".  The answer was "nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be  
sure".  So, I switched back to Debian unstable and have been pretty  
happy since.
