Note: If you are installing remote frontends, they must use the same major version of MythTV as the backend. For example backend version 29.0 can support frontend version 29.0, 29.1, 29.2 but not 30.0.
MythTV Customized Distributions
Install your Linux distribution using the individual install instructions for that distribution. There are links on the Operating System page.
