[mythtv-users] MythTV On Gentoo - Thoughts and Questions

[Richard J. Sears]

Richard - 

Thanks to you (and others) for the great feedback. I had a few more
problems with Asterisk and the addon's :-)

Couple of quick questions. First, would you share your make.conf USE
flags with me so I get them right the first time and second, Did you use
KDE or Gnome..?

Thanks Again !!
