You obviously have for gotten that I am one of the Debian crowd here :-)
For details I built my MythTV box using Debian sid (experimental) as I
needed that version for some of the library dependencies and I've stuck
with it.  I don't upgrade the system that often.  I haven't for example
upgraded the kernel 'cos I can't get the IvTV framebuffer driver to work
with the newer kernels, but as the system is behind my firewall I don't
see that as a problem.

Hardware wise I am running as follows:
	CPU:		Pentium II (Deschutes)
	MHz:		399.090
	Capture Card:	Hauppauge PVR-350 (with hardware decoder)

I haven't tried Mythbuntu, although I did try the other pre-package
setup once and failed to get it to work.  In the end I've stuck will
rolling my own.  I works, so I don't fiddle unless there is a good
reason.
