I've been using OpenSUSE for years now, mainly because I know it better
than other distributions, and my backend has also been my MTA and web
server, so I need to know it reasonably well. But now I've made other
arrangements for web and email, so I'm free to make the backend just
that and nothing else. OpenSUSE has been good, and there is at least
someone who kindly creates MythTV packages, but they're restrictive in
terms of versions. At the moment, I cannot update OpenSUSE version
without updating MythTV version at the same time, and I'd rather not.
Also, neither the latest OpenSUSE or the one I'm on, gives me access to
MythTV v31. So, I'm thinking this may be a chance to swap to a different
distro. Any recommendations?
One thing I don't want to lose is kiwi. Kiwi allows me to build my
frontend disc images on the backend and server them via AOE or write
them to the frontend disc and control whether the frontend boots from
AOE or disc from the backend. I never have to connect a keyboard or
mouse to the frontend. I believe Kiwi was developed on OpenSUSE but now
supports other distros.
