So, from a MythTV perspective, this should be a simple and pretty painless upgrade. From a distro perspective--i.e. installing (and getting to know) the new distro (and how it does things)--or the LVM-configuration/-changes perspective, though, it may not be so simple. I'll leave helping with those things to others who understand them better than I.<br>

After checking that my drives were all mapped the same way they had been under Fedora, I just pointed Myth to the drives, restored my database, and that was pretty much all I needed to do.</div>
