FreeBSD is the only platform I am familiar with other then Windows and the MAC OS. I don't know about Freevo, but for MythTV, I'd say that going with a FreeBSD system is asking for headaches. I'm not saying it couldn't work (I know the frontend will; not sure about the backend), but as a newbie, and unless you're a FreeBSD guru, you'd probably be better served by picking a platform with a larger installed base, so if you have any problems someone on the -users list is more likely to be able to help you. The most popular platforms for MythTV seem to be Fedora Core (various versions, thanks to Jarod Wilson's excellent guide) and Debian (what many of the main devs use, IIRC), or KnoppMyth (which is a Debian/Knoppix-based LiveCD that can install a working Myth system to your hard drive in minutes). There are plenty of other distros/platforms represented (Gentoo, Slackware, Mac OS X), but I'd guess that over 50% of users are on a Fedora- or Debian-based Linux distribution. Just food for thought. Good luck in your endeavors! -JAC ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
