If you use Fedora Core 2 or 3 you can follow Jarod Wilson's excellent
step-by-step guide to getting MythTV up and running. From looking at
this list it seems there may be 1 or 2 problems with the FC3 setup so
it might be worth going with a FC2 setup as that seems to be a more
well-trodden path. Depends how bleeding egde you want to be :)
