KnoppMyth is great for getting a basic system up and running but when you try to polish it (i.e. get nuv2disc working or updating to current versions) things tend to go horrobly wrong. I did a few clean installs but some of the sources are broken and they include experimental (whitch is not for the faint harted). I ended up getting in a situation on every time when apt-get fell over and there was no way of using it. I ended up dumping the distro and going to gentoo. It may be a longer jurny but you learn a lot and I am constently moving forward. With gentoo you may have to climb a few hils but you dont keep on hitting brick walls.
