[Wizardskills]

Ok im putting together a linux HTPC and i am wondering what distribution to use? I have also seen a program called MythTV, is this any good? Basicly im looking for something that looks cool and will do everything a HTPC should. Any surgestions?

It's not quite there yet, but I would also keep an eye on LinuxMCE (http://www.linuxmce.org/)

Mythbuntu is absolutely fantastic, especially if you're already comfortable with the Ubuntu way of doing things. I'm posting this from Myth.
