<div>Is it possible/advisable to build MythTV using QT4? <br><br>Is there anybody here that's used Gentoo and Ubuntu for MythTV? Which performed better? I am just torn on which to use now that I've upgraded my MythTV box.
</div></blockquote><div><br>I can vouch for Gentoo and say that it's support for mythtv is excellent. Great howtos, lots of users, great quality ebuilds. I love how I can mix and match packages, for example I'm using gcc-3.4.6
, mysql-4.1, mythtv-0.19 (plus some patches from the ebuild), kernel-2.6.15 (necessary for ivtv-0.4.5, the higher versions of ivtv are problematic). Plugins are all in separate ebuilds. ivtv package works great. I'm sure with binary distros like ubuntu the dependancies might be a bit more rigid and that can be annoying sometimes.
