Hmmm, I built my MythTV box on FC3, believe me it was a pain. MythTV alone
was cool but to add the mpeg2 decoder card and the builtin video on the
micro-ITX board was a nuisance. I would have given up without yum, which
you pretty much don't get with RHEL -- no repos. You can use up2date but
you need to be paying for support on that box. Or have I been missing
something?
I just built my first gentoo box, and I'm realizing that might have been
a better option for me considering everything I had to build from source.
