KnoppMyth is a specialized distribution of Linux based on Knoppix and Debian unstable. KnoppMyth is designed to ease the installation of MythTV on a home theatre PC. It can be used to install a full MythTV client and server system, a MythTV client front-end, or upgrade an existing KnoppMyth installation.

[edit] Advantages
[edit] Ease of installation
A common complaint about MythTV is that it's difficult to install and configure. KnoppMyth is a general purpose solution which contains a completely configured MythTV installation system, as well as a full Linux system. Given a computer with common and well documented hardware, virtually no manual configuration may be necessary -- a user selecting Auto Configure only needs to specify network settings, confirm one or two settings, and wait for the week's television listings to be downloaded.
[edit] Front-end Live CD
Used as a front-end client KnoppMyth can run off a CD-ROM, but requires a network reachable MythTV back-end server.
