I'm not looking to start a distro war here, just some concise advise.

Long term Linux user, played with multiple distros over the years.
Mid term MythTV user, first around 0.17 then came back to it about 0.19. 
Over the past several years, I've generally tracked just behind master, 
compiling from source.  However I'm finding less and less and time 
available to maintain my systems to the level I would like.

I have one dedicated MBE, one dedicated FE, and a few multi-purpose 
machines on the network. While I've used Gentoo primarily in the past, 
at the moment most of my machines are running some form Debian (SID).

So, I'm looking for a packaged version of myth, one that tracks the 
latest *release* (not looking for something tracking master here) fairly 
closely, and is reasonably stable. I do have one machine in my house 
which will continue to run Gentoo, but I'm more then willing to 
determine which git version the packaged version is running and manually 
build on that one machine, in truth I don't run myth much on that 
machine anyways.

Once again, not looking to start a war, just wondering what peoples 
thoughts are.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew.
