I've set up my share of myth boxen, and I think it can be done by a newb (after all, this is what got me into linux). Sure, problems can arise, but if you go with a popular distro like ubuntu, then odds are the wiki docs will cover the majority, if not all of them.
In 1994 an otherwise intelligent EE told me that the pending popularity of the internet would bring it to a halt. At the time I figured, meh, this will actually push the build-out of the infrastructure, it's simple economics. Here we go again.
FTA:
The recorder, which does not play a role in protecting astronauts or the space station, was damaged by an unidentified person or persons and will be repaired.
No word yet on suspects, but NASA investigators said it was "peppered pretty good."
I installed knoppmyth on my first myth box about 2 years ago. At the time it was the distro. of choice for easy, automated installations. It worked well on my "lowrider" (underpowered, ancient) system. The problem that ultimately killed that box was that the automated installation program set up a small (~4gb IIRC) partition for applications by default, and gave the rest to the AV partition. I wanted to install _every_ app. that had to do with multimedia, so this became too restrictive ultimately.
For my next box (considering the first a proof of concept), I went all out an spec'd an efficient, yet capable machine (I also plan to run Astrisk (voip server) on it, a web server, etc, etc). Unfortunately for me, I bought a bad ram stick that wasn't on the vendors list. Before I figured this out, I installed many distros to try to get the hardware running. These include:
After I figured out my ram problem, I now had to choose from among these distros based on my experience installing most of them several times. - I did not like the knoppmyth custom installer (cumbersome, ambiguous at times), so I ruled that out. - Mythdora just wasn't for me. I've always used debian-based distros, so that bias was enough to cause me to look elsewhere. - I remember thinking that Simply Mepis was a great out-of-the-box distro with a slick user I/F, but the community forums were mostly Portuguese (I think, Brazil, IIRC??). - I don't remember too much about Dream linux. - In the end, I went with Ubuntu.
Using Ubuntu meant that I had to install a few more packages than with some of the other distros (e.g. mySQL, mythserver, mythfrontend), but there was plenty of community documentation to walk me through all of that. The same is true of all of the applications that I plan to load on it someday (once it was good enough for my wife to use, I kind of moved on to other projects for a while...(ahem, ADD/ADHD, cough).....) The Ubuntu UI is also pretty wife/gf friendly, which can be a key issue in household mythtv acceptance.

Having another computer with an internet connection is like having a AAA card.

Does it really matter? 200,000 elliptical galaxies can't be wrong!
I'm checking it out now.... Thanks!
Thanks! This is now on my cubicle wall (right above my homemade weaponry of pencils and rubber bands, which is next to the starwars origami)....

I don't care! Calling "time" is like pinging yahoo. Warm fuzzies when you connect....

By then you can read about it on MSN.... Shouldn't we at least hear about stuff early on /., even if it never pans out?
I don't hate MS nearly as much as I hate Sony, so reading this is sort of a guilty pleasure, but more of a meh.

Doesn't it say that refusing a search can't be used as evidence of guilt? Isn't this the same thing?
