                    compiling, maybe you ought to<br>
                    rethink your choice of CentOS for MythTV also.&nbsp; I.e.
                    apply the right<br>
                    tool to the job at hand.<br>

                  I'd have to agree with this.&nbsp; I just don't see
                  something like MythTV<br>
                  as the target audience for something like CentOS.<br>
                  <br>
                  Now, if you were going to run CentOS as a host and
                  then run something<br>
                  like a MythTV appliance distro in a container
                  underneath it, then I'd<br>
                  be saying that you're more in the target audience for
                  CentOS.&nbsp; Then<br>
                  again, if hosting diverse containers is your goal,
                  then something like<br>
                  CoreOS could be better still.&nbsp; CentOS is a bit more
                  about stability<br>
                  and supportability than having a rich package
                  database, especially for<br>
                  things like multimedia.<br>

                What exactly do you two mean by this? MythTV is the
                target or CentOS is the target? Of what?<br>
                <br>
                I happen to host MythTV on CentOS. Finding the right
                repo for packages has been a problem. It was ATrpms. And
                now that some of the users have stepped up it still is.<br>
                <br>
                Why does it sound like the stability of Red Hat/CentOS
                is a *bad* thing for you? It sounds like you want to
                target the ever shifting sands of something like Fedora.
                A distro that demands updating once or twice a year.

              <div>This is exactly why I switched from Fedora to
                CentOS.&nbsp; I was growing tired of the constantly evolving
                baseline that required me to keep up or get left behind.
                &nbsp; I wanted something more stable.</div>

    Whoops, posted without following Gary's instructions. Reposting with
