[mythtv-users] Which Distribution?

9.2 working fine here with Oystein's rpm's, available with apt from here:
http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/apt/suse/

The only problem I had was trying to rebuild the mythtv rpm with XvMC
support, for some reason it would not see libXvMCNVIDIA.a, which was in the
place it was looking for it. I had to bodge the spec file so it was no
longer required. 
Once I had the packages built, when I tried to install them, it complained
that there was no libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so (which was also where it was
looking for it). I had to force the packages to install, which then gave
errors for apt/synaptic about libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so so I put a
fake-provides line in apt.conf.d? file which stopped it from moaning.
