Hi Andy, I was only pondering the idea because I now have 3 Apple computers and contribute heavily to their cause with about 6 more iDevices.
Based on the lack of support for Apple and PVR cards (which I fully understand) I'll probably upgrade my Mandriva package or consider a shift to Mythbuntu. Don't worry, I'm a happy Linux guy of at least 15 years too. Sorry to spread a sour thought.
