I'm thinking of launching a MythTV distro website



Thanks for the comments (David, Jarod, Jack)--pretty much making the argument
that I expected, suggesting that I find an existing distro to submit
development to.

I've got a much grander vision in mind that won't fit on one of the existing
sites.  After 18 months of puttering around with the various distros, what's
basically happened is I've rejected them all in a fundamental way.  I've
gotten more than an earful on the WAF issue (I'm fully expecting one of my
Myth setups to get thrown out the window onto the street if it segfaults or
otherwise freezes up one more time).

My premise is this:  the existing distros--MythBuntu, MiniMyth, Mythdora,
KnoppMyth--are not stable enough on current hardware to set up at your
grandmother's house.

I've invented my own and am thinking of sharing it.  It won't fit in any of
the existing distros because I've taken a very different approach.  The only
place I could post it, perhaps, is the MythTV main site but that's not
apparently designed for what I have in mind (it's anything but simple and
grafting my stuff onto that will only add to the confusing mish-mash that
David/Jarod/Jack allude to).

Anyway I'll just let my unpublished distro sit until I find some people who
want to work with it.
