Ive had a lot of luck with Mandrake.
Install 10.1, run easyurpmi and get a plf source, then you only have to use the gui to install the mysql stuff and a few other bits, and myth compiles and runs. I got myth working on my laptop with Mandrake in a couple of hours from scratch (scratch being a winxp install). As a bonus, myth works over wifi :)

I (personally) disagree. I often find that dependency handling gets in the way quite often. The reason being that some of these "handled" dependencies aren't compiled with some options that I need.
That said, I use mythtv on a Suse 8.2 system just fine (although I compiled mythtv on it). I, however, prefer Slackware and others based on it. Stick with Slack if you are already used to it.
