A "me too" for the above. For the backend CentOS 5 has served me well.
Now with the dependencies on PHP and QT for 0.24 we may need to
upgrade to CentOS 6 when that comes out, but I believe Axel is working
on that, so I just wait and see.

I too use MiniMyth as a frontend and are very happy with it. The way
Pablo maintains and supports this project is fantastic indeed.
