Hello,<br><br>I am ready to take the plunge and build myself a MythTV system. I am sure there are people who are sick of newcomers asking the same questions over and over but if you will be patient with me I might actually get this accomplished.
<br><br>1. I am a Linux neophyte with my only experience upgrading my TiVo hard drive. I would like to take small steps with getting my hands dirty so an easy/user friendly distro would be welcome. KnopixMyth?<br><br>2. What is a time tested hardware configuration for a TiVo type of functionality? Eventually I would want to have a closet back end do all of the leg work and a cool looking front end to go next to my HDTV (but hey ... who doesn't)
<br><br>Any links, comments or suggestions would be appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Pete<br>
