"Linux is one of the most remarkable phenomena in the recent history of personal computing. In some ways, it's similar to the original homebrew PC movement of the late 1970s and early 80s. Equal parts cool kids club and grass roots revolution, Linux in its many different forms has proven itself a force to be reckoned with. A highly configurable OS that can both scale up to big enterprise iron and down to handheld devices, Linux can do almost anything. It even powers the most well-known PVR on the planet, TiVo."
ExtremeTech have gone through extreme installation configurations to write an article on building a Linux HTPC, so why not read it? ;)
The KnoppMyth is an interesting distro combining the best parts of Knoppix with MythTV (both other Linux distributions). But alas, KnoppixMyth does not yet fully supporting the live-CD properties of Knoppix which would mean that you could run it whole and wide from only from the CD.
