I hear good things about knopmyth (Debian based).

I've also read some people claiming good luck setting up MythTV in
Ubuntu.
I haven't looked into it too much, but if it's really the case that might
be a path of least resistance.

Gentoo will support the MythTV stuff better. Other distros have not
really been working towards supporting this. Consequently, they can be
much harder to install MythTV on. MythTV, from what I hear, is already a
rather hard thing to install. Gentoo has the documentation that should
ease this. I also hear that the Happenhauge cards are your best bet to
getting this stuff working so I'd do reading before buying hardware as
that is somewhat crucial to your experience.

Subject: Re: [UM-LINUX] Distro Age
Hello all,
The reason I asked about Slackware was that it was my first
succesful install. I installed it on an older machine. PII
166 mhz 64meg RAM 8GB HDD. I'm looking for avdice on a
distro to use to build another dual boot machine. Probably
2-3 GHZ processor 512meg RAM 80-200GB HDD. Running Xp and
Linux, where Linux will run MythTV. I will install a WinTV
card and possibly a pcHDTV card. I was considering trying
this with Slackware for the learning experience. Does it
make more sense for me to install RH or Gentoo or ??? to make
this work? Will Slackware be harder to setup?
Thanks
