I've been researching various operating systems.
I think for beginners, a Live-CD installation like Ubuntu or Knoppix might be easiest. Since they are both Debian based, we can use the Debian packages to install MythTV.
I'm leaning towards Knoppix because it has the 2.4 kernel which is supported by MythTV... Not sure if 2.6 works (out of box) yet.
If you want to build on the work EFF has done, we just released a "Cookbook" describing step-by-step setup of MythTV for U.S. HDTV, with KnoppMyth and the pcHDTV HD-3000 card. <http://www.eff.org/broadcastflag/cookbook/>
We're encouraging people to build HDTV PVRs before the broadcast flag outlaws manufacture of the tuners, and found that KnoppMyth offered an easy and full-featured way to get there.
We'd be happy to see this document expanded to cover more of the surrounding features of MythTV.
