This email is simply a rant... but I need to express my frustration, so I'm begging forgiveness in advance.<br><br>I've been using MythTV for over a year now. I originally tried to make it work with SuSE (wasted lots of time there), until I found Jarod Wilson's wonderful HOW-TO for installing Myth on Fedora Core 4. (Thank you, Jarod!) I switched to Fedora and got MythTV installed and working on 2 machines.
<br><br>But over the year, I continually experienced problems when updating or upgrading via yum. Over and over again, yum refused to do anything because of dependency problems. Each time, I had to invest time and effort to work around the problem.
<br><br>When I was confronted with the problem again this week, I decided to upgrade to Fedora Core 5. So I downloaded the DVD ISO, verified the DVD was good and upgraded the master backend. After the upgrade, the system couldn't launch the X server. So I tried to run "yum upgrade". It refused due to a conflict over the boot image.
<br><br>So I copied all my recordings to another box and dumped a backup of mythconverg - and did a clean install of Fedora Core 5. Immediately after first boot, I tried "yum upgrade". Same problem.<br><br>I'm giving up on Fedora. Hello Ubuntu...
