I've got two laptops that run Fedora 4 and Knoppix. By far
the better of the two on the frontend duties is the Knoppix box... but that's a
more powerful machine.
My Fedora laptop is actually only a PIII-class CPU
(500Mhz), but with a nice trim config (XFCE instead of one of the heavy WM's)
the performance is more than acceptable. Runs Myth playback pretty well for SD,
but for HD I wouldn't even attempt it.
Depends a lot on what kind of stuff you're going to do with
it. I use my laptop primarily for "Office-type" applications; Email, Web, word
processing etc... I only really use Myth on my laptops for editing video
(creating cutlists, not cutting video).

Subject: [mythtv-users] mythfrontend laptop linux distro???
I need some opinions
here please.
I'd like to install
a linux distro on my laptop for daily usage and for a mythfrontend. Question is
what is the best suitable distro for my laptop. I tried suse in the past, but I
hate all those "missing dependencies" with installing rpms. Gentoo is great (my
backend is running on it), but the emerging of kde errored after compiling of a
complete day!!! So not an option for me anymore. Knoppmyth is more for a cd
frontend and not appropiate for my dual booted laptop I
think.
How's fedora
nowadays..... is it the same story as with the dependencies of
suse?
Some experiences are welcome
Regards
Rick
