Mandrake/Redhat

I put MythTV on my computer and it works pretty nicely. A little hard to set up though.

As was said before, Redhat and Mandrake are both pretty easy and quick to install
I currently run mandrake 9.1 on my server and on my laptop ... It does what I want it to do.

I was looking at Myth TV but it has to be Linux. I'm a Linux newbie so what version would be the easiest to use?

What about InterVideo's DVR3?

That is what I use to play and record stuff on my WinXP system with capture card.

Just stay away from Slackware and you will be fine

Geez, and I thought that half the fun of Linux were the pitfalls that normally come with installing it!
