I've been using Myth since version 0.15 and I have nothing but praise for it. I started with FC1 and used Jarods guide for my first installs. The first time I installed, including installation time for FC1 it took a good 6 hours and everything worked the first time as advertised. These days I can do a ground up install in less than 2 hours.
Anyway, at some point I upgraded to 0.16 (atrpms) and except for a couple of little annoyances, once again everything worked as expected.
Recently, I decided to split my FE/BE setup into dedicated FE and BE machines, upgrade to 0.17, and start compiling myth from CVS. Using Jarods guide and information from mythtv.org everything went as expected and after a few hours I had working BE and FE machines running FC2 (just because I didn't have a set of FC3 CDs handy) and using 0.17.
While there have been a few little hiccups here and there, all were minor and fixed within a short amount of time. Sometimes with help from people here on this list sometimes using my own skill set.
I just wanted to thank the devs for a great piece of software and encourage newbies out there to stick with it if you have problems. The one thing I can suggest is read, re-read, and re-read again all of the documentation before starting your setup and follow the instructions to the *T* and you'll save yourself a bunch of headaches.
