<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">I have used Fedora with my MythTV box
since I first discovered this list a few years ago. Primarily, because
of Jarod's guide. With the new release, I am considering switching
over to Feisty Fawn to be consistent with my other Linux boxes. Naturally,
I have been reading various install guides in an attempt to suss out how
to best accomplish my goal. I have not yet found what seems to be
a complete HOWTO on the subject and I have the feeling that Myth on Feisty
may be problematic, specifically with regards to sound and iirc. Am
I reading things correctly? Or have I just beeen reading the gloomy
postings?</font>

All my myth boxes were on Fedora; but my desktop had wandered from distro to distro until I found Ubuntu. Once I had locked into Ubuntu for my personal workstation, I found alternating between Fedora and Ubuntu somewhat bothersome.
<br><br>Mario used to have a great how-to for Feisty posted on his website, which I used. It's no longer there. But the install is almost as easy as running Synaptic and installing the mythtv packages. I am sure that the links provided by others above will work well for you.
<br><br>My biggest problem was getting lirc to work. Here is a site that gives a great how-to for lirc: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty
</a><br><br>I have never regretted moving from Fedora to Ubuntu for my myth boxes. But I still remember the nightmares over past struggles with package dependency conflicts with yum (and even SMART). Since moving to Ubuntu, I've never had any of those problems.
