"I'd recommend getting hold of a Linux distribution already configured for MythTV, something like MythBuntu" Tracy

Isn't that an entire OS?

Would that mean trashing my OS X? Or is it dual-boot?

PS
I've been looking for netbooks / notebooks. I checked ZAReason first. Their lowest cost notebook is $449.

But this source has netbooks for under $250, and name brand computers for under $300; apparently with Wi Fi already built in.

I thought one of the reasons to go to Linux was lower price. Am I looking in the wrong spot?
