It would be awesome if it was current enough to actually work.
Mythtv has come a LONG way since the release knoppmyth was based on, even in a few short months.
My main problem was xmltv, and any attempt to do an apt-get update//install xmltv hosed it totally.
I even tried just building xmltv from source, and just pulling it's dependencies--- still horked.
I eventually got it working on Mandrake cooker, now if the transcosing made the files smaller ratehr than fill my 120G drive on every attempt, it wiul be fully functional.
urpmi --auto-select in progress...
Tip--- Under 2.6, with devfs, devices are in/udev... The ones in/dev seem to remap for some apps, and not for others.
Mandrake* has had every item the moron mentioned covered to some degree for quite awhile now.
*as well as every other distro, I use Mandrake myself since ~8.x days, (usually run cooker snapshots now though) Mandrake is usually ahead of SUSE as far as Desktop functionality, but it is a good race.
I will withold any opinions on Fedora until I see it work right, perhaps they just need time, they seem to be getting there.
If ASUS were to release a ready to roll Linux distro with the Digimatrix, with all the required drivers (HDTV), preconfigured/ready to run out of the box with MythTV or such, they would just about own the world with this totally slick little box.
The main reason to get a Digimatrix is it's ***HDTV*** AND CABLE TUNER.
The HDTV part has no Linux drivers, and unless ASUS helps out here with at least binary drivers, it's almost pointless to use Linux here.
I looked HARD at this box, and am tempted, but it will be a Windows box (unless ASUS helps) and I don't do Windows. (Yes, I'm one of those people, still have an Amiga 3000, so bite me)
It is the metal equivalent of smooth peanut butter, and is actually use IN some devices.
(I'm in the buisiness, have access to little ~CPU size scraps of the foil from cryopump rebuild kits, always been curious, just never enough to try it)
Just so we are all on the same page: Caldera renamed themselves the SCO Group after getting (some) Unix liscensing rights and the name SCO from "SCO", who spun themselves off and now go by the name of their main product, "Tarantella"
Tarantella is probaly still in Santa Cruz (SCO==Santa Cruz Operation)
"SCO" aint the old SCO that was once respected, it's the failed Linux distro company Caldera, in a clown suit, using someone elses name tag they bought for a dollar.
The family tree of "SCO" is twisted to say the least...
Slashdot Mirror
It depends on the copyright of the driver code.
If the driver for YOUR chipset is not under the "problematic" lisence, it may very well get back ported to 4.3.
If it came from ATI, it may not be a problem.
YMMV---stone Mandrake with your issue: it may already be in the works.

This is a troll, and a lame attempt to be funny.
Deal with it.
It is also true...
Full texts should be posted anon coward, as should no register links to subscription sites.
Idiot,

And you have found a way to do WHAT?
Make you case better or you are clearly trolling...
Does (some of) the extra energy input during the converion make it into the final products?
Nope, never been documented. Pure rumor.
Would you like to by a bridge?
Troll... Go back to your hole.
So "You Fail It" IS a valid statement?;-)
Sorry, couldn't resist.
It's late. I plead blind.
Your point well taken, but also note the PC did not include a MONITOR, much less a flat panel.
Almost makes me want to dual boot...
The same design team must have doen the current crown vic, as Dallas has lost several police officers from rear impact/blow up accidents.
There are a number of recalls... And last I heard Dallas and sereral other cities are suing Ford over this.
Tried XFCE4 yet?
CDE users will feel comfortable, and it has the benefit of NOT being CDE.
MOD parent up
Answer---It sucks, used the reference in the parent, indium is nowhere close.
It's just soft, and allows a perfect physical connection I guess.
Would indium foil work well?

The fact that the guvmint machines are the easy targets is apparently the point.
This if for federal agency use, and anyone elses.
This also effectively says "You WILL do it like this" to the federal agencies.
There will be a quiz.
Iomega ZIP discs and HD floppies (100M or so)
...No, I have NO idea why they would do this.
are still in use/popular for some reason I cannot fathom (in some areas)
Of course a USB disk is going to be cheaper, backups on DVD are going to be more effective...
This cleanly describes the issue... and excactly what logo they are talking about...as opposed to the /. blurb.

Most parts we deal with are ABS.
Plastic Welder is designed to glue ABS.
Wal Mart, True Value Hardware stores, and lots of other places sell it.
If they call it "Plastic Welder" its the Duro stuff under licence.
Arent 3"/3.5in disks supported by most CD players?
Do they make DVD+RW in that form factor?
That would hold about the same amount... and a CD
full of MP3s will play for awhile...
Of course they cost 2x/3x more than the CD ones for some reason.
Eats its own dog food.
I'm sure Solaris is the OS de jour at Sun.
I have to assume Windows is typical in Redmond.
I'm pretty sure anything other than Redhats products in Redhats building is...Lost.
If IBM wants to push Linux into the enterprise, this is a damn good start.
There are few enterprises bigger than IBM.
(There are very likely smaller countries than IBM...)
