So has anybody actually set up Pluto? Apparently it isn't vaporware (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/96360).Got it up and running. Myth (a stripped down version) is just one of many plugins , including a bunch of Misterhouse type stuff, Asterisk, and some basic desktop functionality.
I'm installing it on an old box to check it out. I'll post more info once it's up.
The web interface has a million different options, but couldn't test most of it as I don't have the home automation or security camera hardware. From what I could tell, the TV interface requires a mouse, but I could be wrong about that. Didn't feel like setting up lirc.
The TV interface isn't entirely pretty either. It would be nice for remote control on a handheld, but I wouldn't want it running on my TV the way Myth does.
The install is really slick. You download a "kickstart cd" (debian sarge) and fill out a questionnaire on their website that decides which modules to install and gives you an ID. When you plug your ID onto the installer when prompted, it apt-get's everything according to your questionnaire and configures it on the fly for the most part.
All in all, I'd say its not ready for my house yet, but it is an early release, so who knows what will happen. Since I don't have the equipment, money, or time to spend getting the home automation stuff set up, I'll stick with Myth and probably add Asterisk soon. I'm holding my breath for the day I can install [EMAIL PROTECTED] (centOS based) and just apt-get mythtv-suite.
Any word on the timeline for CentOS/RHEL support on ATRPM's?
