[mythtvnz] Gentoo - persevere or try Knoppmyth?

[Tim, Donna & Erin Gibson]

I'm running Gentoo both on my desktop and my Myth boxn, I'm a sucker for 
punishment...

Works great for me with little problems other than the continual emerging of 
newer app's but what I've been doing for a while is "emerge -puv system" and 
only letting updated app's update other library's etc.  It may mean a lot of 
app's sitting there when you "emerge -puv world" but just pick what you want 
to update and the rest is done.
