The last release of MythDora was version 5.0 and it was based on Fedora 8, but Ryan Pisani decided to be with-it and he proudly announced last night a new release of the MythDora Linux distribution. Being based on Fedora 10 and powered by Linux kernel 2.6.27.9, MythDora 10.21 offers a new and simple way to install both Fedora Linux and the popular MythTV software on your personal computer.
"MythDora 10.21 has arrived. That's right we've jumped ahead a few versions to catch us up with our Fedora baseline. The intent is that going forward we'll release versions in-line with current Fedora versions. There are some major changes for us in this release. We've moved away from the Xdialog installer and into a single firefox configuration for the initial system setup. This same setup can be called via the MythDora Tools menu for a variety of features and for further maintenance as you use your system." - said Ryan Pisani in the
official release announcement.
