<div style="DIRECTION: ltr">So for those of us new to the Linux/myth game... has there ever been a debate as to which is the better path to go down. I want to get going using Myth and learning Linux and trying to get to the point of playing with Myth along with the semblance of a life I try to keep isn't working.

<div>When I discovered MythTV, I used Knoppmyth to try it out. It was a very quick and easy installation... It worked well for most things, however I quickly found notable limitations such as the lack of easy support for SATA drives and limited upgrade capabilities outside of newer releases of Knoppmyth.

<div>As Mythdora is on Fedora, and I am not a Linux God, I appreciate being able to use things like Jarrod's guide to understand the configuration. I plan to use Mythdora on my next Myth incarnation (HD tuners) as it will support my larger SATA drives and an interface I am more used to (Fedora/KDE). The past Mythdora was not as applicable as it was FC3, which didn't have the Kernel packages required for my Air2PC cards. I also appreciate the inclusion of Mythburn, Mythstream, and MediaMVP support.

<div>Either can save one lots of time if you have a standard (common) configuration.</div><br> </div>
