I know almost nothing about Linux or mythtv. I used the latest Alpha4
build of Mythbuntu and then installed the ubuntu desktop from it's
console. It worked fantastic! All I had to do was create the archives
temp directory and get it's permissions right and my system was up and
running! I think all newbies would be best served by mythbuntu. Just my
2 cents, you might want another distro since your more experienced.<br>

<br>
Due to some hardware changes I'm planning to rebuild my MythTV box
shortly. I'll be copying over my recordings and database and since my
current system is a recent-ish SVN I'll be building Myth from source. <br>
<br>
I'm considering trying out a different distro. Currently my MythTV box
is openSuse 10.2 and my laptop, and occasional frontend, is Fedora 7.
I've also use Fedora 6 in the past for Myth.<br>
<br>
What are people's distro preferences and why?
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br clear="all">
