Installing debian is simple.  Installing the mythtv packages is simple.
After that it is just mythtv configuration and has little to do with the
distribution (ok you have to install the ivtv-source package and run 
'm-a -t a-i ivtv' to build the drivers for the PVR cards too).  For now
I for sure will be sticking with the real thing (debian that is).  I
didn't even look for a howto when installing mythtv.  It is really
amazingly easy (contrary to what lots of documents claim, which seem to
think all other PVR type software is much easier, although of course
those all run on windows and hence the drivers come with windows
installers).
