[mythtv-users] Re: Which Distribution?

[George Styles]

Ive had a lot of luck with Mandrake.

Install 10.1, run easyurpmi and get a plf source, then you only have to use 
the gui to install the mysql stuff and a few other bits, and myth compiles 
and runs. I got myth working on my laptop with Mandrake in a couple of hours 
from scratch (scratch being a winxp install). As a bonus, myth works over 
wifi :)
