I've been running Myth under various linuces for a while; after failure to get anything working in FreeBSD in early 2006, I settled on Knopp R5C7 last spring, with good success on a Dell Precision-something workstation (2GHz P4) and a generic NV17. The only problems I had were MythTV-specific and easily solved. I'll try the FreeBSD option as soon as I pick up an additional disk. :) -- Paul Chvostek <paul@it.ca>
