Knoppmyth

KnoppMyth

KnoppMyth is a Linux distribution designed for use on Home Theater PCs (HTPCs). As of version R6, it is now called LinHES (Linux Home Entertainment Server). The most recent release (R6) is based on Arch Linux, though previous versions were based on Debian Linux with configuration scripts from the Knoppix Linux distribution. Knoppmyth also contains "Knoppmyth"-specific scripts that install and configure the MythTV PVR software as well as a number of add-ons. Most standard HTPC hardware is supported, and much of it is even configured automatically, making the often complex installation and configuration of a MythTV-based Linux Home Theater PC system relatively easy and pain-free. The operating system was developed and is maintained by Cecil Hugh Watson.
