[mythtv-users] Absolute NEWBIE, question about Linux

[Aaron]

Thank you all for your replies and support ideas.  It seems like Fedora 
is the way to go, with most people mentioning it.  :)
I'll have to get a system and throw it on there.  Right now I'm kinda 
stuck with just my one system with windows.  I thought
about a dual-boot but the more I read into it, the more I fear of 
problems along the way.  I've decided to go with Fedora,
and will be installing that.  Thanks again!
