MythTV: Easy personal video recording with Linux (NewsForge)
After trying MythTV on SUSE 9.1 Professional client, I found an even easier way to get everything running in less time. If you want to use your box exclusively as a media center, try KnoppMyth, a Linux distro based on Knoppix, aimed solely at providing an out-of-the-box system optimized for MythTV. The installation, although not graphical, is a no-brainer, and doesn't take much time. When it finishes, KnoppMyth helps you configure most of the options for MythTV to get it up and running".
