    Perhaps you should try a distribution with some sort of half decent package management. I run gentoo, to install mythtv (compiling from source no less) it is as simple as: # emerge mythtv Most modern distributions have some sort of good package management, where you don't even have to think about all the problems you list. And as to your comment: "I then had to mess with getting the NVIDIA binary drivers installed and xconf configured properly." No you didn't. For simple TV viewing as you suggest, you can use the vesa X11 drivers and it'll output on every possible output. And if you do decide to go the nvidia route, the binary installer itself will configure your xorg.conf for you. You seem to be trying to serve some type of agenda with these complaints, or are just completely incompetent at linux.
