another couple of things in favor of knoppix in addition to the great
hardware detection/compatibility:
1) a method is working (but still in development) to very simply
transfer the cd based system to the HD. You end up with a working disk
based debian system. That way if someone decided they liked the cd
version they could just dump the whole thing system, mythtv and all to
the HD.
2) once knoppix + mythv are dumped to the HD mythv upgrades are a
matter of apt-get. Since mdz is making debian packaged of major myth
releases someone could easily a)try out the cd based system+mythtv b)
decide they like it and install to HD with one command and c) keep the
system and mythtv all up to date with a simple apt-get.
Considering the rate at which zaptoit keeps changing around and the
corresponding xmltv releases, a cd based distro + mythtv setup could go
stale pretty fast. This gets around that by having the option of going
to the HD.
