KnoppMyth
I??™ve included KnoppMyth (http://freshmeat.net/projects/knoppmyth) because it represents
a new and interesting class of bootable Linux distributions. MythTV is a fairly complex set
of software used to configure an entertainment center that can include a personal video recorder
(complete with downloaded local TV listings and tools for managing recording and playback), music
player, weather center, and tools for getting news and other information.
KnoppMyth is a CD distribution based on KNOPPIX that is intended to help simplify getting a
MythTV installation up and running. Boot up KnoppMyth, answer a few questions, and MythTV
is installed on your hard disk.
KnoppMyth also includes another nice feature: a MythTV front end. With MythTV configured
on a computer on your LAN, you can use the KnoppMyth disk to boot up a MythTV front
end. That way, you can use your MythTV entertainment center from any TV on your local
area network.

production tools on a single bootable operating system. The distribution is intended for
artisans who want to create and work with a variety of digital media: audio, video, digital images,
HTML, and so on.
