Distribution Release: Mythdora 12.23
MythDora Ryan Pisani has announced the release of Mythdora 12.23, a Fedora-based Linux distribution designed to simplify the installation of MythTV on a home theatre PC: "Mythdora 12.23 has been released. There are a few changes from 10.21 but mostly on the cosmetic side of things. We're now using the stock MythTV theme out of the box, as well as stock paths. General features: Fedora 12 + updates; MythTV 0.23-rc2; Linux kernel 2.6.32.11; LIRC 0.8.6. DVD features: GNOME, KDE, LXDE, Xfce and Ratpoison desktops; NVIDIA driver packages 195, 173 and older 96; Handbrake 0.9.4; live CD features: Xfce desktop environment; NVIDIA 195 driver package; ability to change time zone in first boot configuration. Changes in MythDora 12: the auto-installation method has been removed; the front-end now heavily relies on the time zone of the system matching the backend...."

My little multimedia box was stolen some time back, and I have not messed with the TV tuners much since. Have to give it a try..
The funny part was, the box, when stolen, was not complete . The tuner and associated video card had been removed and all it had was the inbred video.
Na na NA Na Na to whoever got it. I had had some troubles and returned it to basic to troubleshoot. Never got around to putting it all back together..

Xange (formerly Vixta) is an easy-to-use, Fedora-based desktop Linux distribution featuring the KDE desktop.
Tested the Vixta and Simpex versions some time back. Originally Vixta was an attempt to mimic windows Vista. Present version of Xange is more typical KDE 4 desktop DVD or minimal CD
Alpha version now available also

| Installed Xange on test box. Easy installer, everything just works out of the box including printer, remote mouse etc. Looks like a good effort. a couple hundred packages as this came out in February.
