[mythtv-users] kernel options for mythtv

[Jason Weinstein]

I've been wondering this too. I'm now compiling 2.6.15 and would like to
know which is the best Preemption Model for a dedicated MythTV box that runs
both frontend and backend. In case it matters, I do use my MythTV box to
record and play ATSC so my processor gets pegged pretty well.

Thanks,

Jason
