I.e. apply the right<br /> tool to the job at hand.<br /><br /></blockquote>
I'd have to agree with this. 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. Then<br /> again, if hosting diverse containers is your goal, then something like<br /> CoreOS could be better still. CentOS is a bit more about stability<br /> and supportability than having a rich package database, especially for<br /> things like multimedia.<br /><br /></blockquote>
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. I was growing tired of the constantly evolving baseline that required me to keep up or get left behind. I wanted something more stable.</div>

<div>What version of CentOS are you on? What source are you using for RPMs or are you compiling?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My 24.3 mythbackend is currently on a CentOS 5 host. I have a nice well built CentOS 6 host sitting next to it that I plan on first migrating to and then upgrading. There is an ATrpms user that has provided some updated MythTV packages. Can't remember if they are 26 or 27.</div>
