I toyed briefly with installing MythTV on my Fedora 9 laptop the other
day from "the repository which must not be named" and it seemed to
work pretty well.  I don't have any TV tuner cards so I wasn't able to
do any actual TV watching.  There's also MythDora which is a
customized Fedora 8 install disk (similar to KnoppMyth) but I haven't
tried it.  Personally I wish there was a MythCentOS as it seems like a
DVR is something that you wouldn't want to re-install every year just
to keep getting security updates.

unfairness of the universe."
