Well, if you want a full-blown desktop distro, I can't recommend Fedora Core 4 highly enough. IMO it's the best platform for both Myth *and* desktop work. I've never like Mandrake/Mandriva much myself.

My local lug refers to it as Mandrivel


Don't want to start a distro war, but do they give good reasons? I mean Mandrake was based on redhat to start with. I actually ran Fedora 4 for a while, then switched to Mandriva because it was a more complete distro, and easier to setup. It sits higher on the distrowatch website's page hit ranking too. Of course, none of that amounts to much if it doesn't work :-( To tell the truth, if I was to switch, I might consider Suse, as we use that at work - mainly because of the support from Novell.

Oh and Jarod's guide pretty much applied to what I had to do to install mythtv under Mandriva. I used it extensively.
