Merge this article with MythTV

I think merging this article with Mythtv is a good idea. It should be a subtopic Linux distros with mythtv already preloaded and configured. The only advantage is the original Linux that Mythtv is incorporated with. One subtopic could cover all these three KnoppMyth, Mythbuntu, MythDora and then if one wants do know about Knoppix, Fedora Core , or Ubuntu they can go to those articles. -98.197.243.41, 7 September 2007

I don't see the harm in repeating information from other articles. It might seem "obvious" to you which information from other articles applies. But many readers of this article would be bewildered and overwhelmed to look at the other articles about the general distros and sort out exactly which parts are and are not applicable in this specific context.-71.174.182.123 (talk) 12:35, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I *oppose* merging, at this time, because I fear that if the articles on the various "full" versions of MythTV are merged into the MythTV article, there will be too much pressure to be too brief about the details of each separate version.-71.174.182.123 (talk) 12:35, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
