[mythtv] Setup Questions

[Joe Cairns]

I am new to mythtv and it looks great.  I have built a very small and quite
pc just for this application.

I have a copy of SuSE 8.0 personnel and professional does it matter which
one I use? Or is there a better Linux distro that I should use?

Is there a list of the packages that I need to install as part of the os
install?

I have downloaded the latest tarball file to install, is that all I need
other the additional packages that you listed on your site.

Is there a step-by-step setup document on system installation and
configuration?

Thanks in advance for your help.
