Myth TV Box Questions.
by RtX 30 May '07

30 May '07

My current setup. I have a small Media Center box that I use as a DVR for my main LCD television. This machine is an Intel chipset based Foxconn board with a 2.8Ghz Pentium CPU. It has 1 x 160GB HDD and a DVD-ROM drive. 512MB RAM. NVidia 7900 AGP 8x video card. The tuner is an ATI HDTV Wonder. I am currently running Windows XP Media Center Edition on the machine. As such, I am running the "Kram" driver on the machine which allows Windows MCE to use the analog tuner AND the HD tuner without switching or rebooting. It works really well. So here's my question(s). I am interested in converting to a Linux based DVR like MythTV. My concern is getting the same multi-tuner use out of the ATI HDTV Wonder that I get using the "Kram" Windows driver. Is there anyone out there with some experience with this or is anyone currently using this card as an analog AND HD tuner? -- RtX... Ty Unes - Overland Park, Ks. riverty(a)gmail.com

Re: OT: using a WRT54G as a wireless bridge?

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices DD-WRT will work on v5+ WRT54Gs, just not as well. The v5 versions began the switch away from using Linux by default to using VxWorks on half the ram or half the flash or both, can't remember which at the moment, but it can still be flashed with a minimal build of Linux. However, there are cheap devices on the market today that have considerably better specs that'll work just fine. For instance, Best Buy, CompUSA (assuming they haven't been completely looted yet), and MicroCenter all had the Buffalo WHR-G54S in stock back in Feb. -Sean

Does anyone have any experiance with this? I found an older Anandtech article about loading sveasoft (or a varient thereof) onto the linksys router. I thought that i had heard that that was no longer possible with the newer linksys stuff? Anyone know?

Has anyone else seen this "Mugshot" project that seems to be from Redhat? It's some sort of open source social networking thing. Linkage at http://mugshot.org/. There's a Linux client so it can't be all bad! -- Kyle Sexton

Embrace the Penguin
by Jim Herrmann 22 May '07

22 May '07

I have come up with the chorus to a song that I think you will all love. It's called "Embrace the Penguin", which will essentially be encouragement for people move over to the world of open source freedom. What I would like to do with the verses, if you like the idea, is turn them into sort of open source verses, and come up with them collaboratively. It's difficult to create art in a multi-opinion collaborative process, but I think it can be done. I will retain the "project lead" position for myself, so the final "commits", if you will, would be my responsibility, but I would like any and all input. I think we would just have to work together on the poetry, and I'll work out the music. Anyway, here's the chorus: Embrace the Penguin Walk away from Redmond Embrace the Penguin Step into freedom If you believe in living free of corporate monopolies then won't you please join with me and Embrace the Penguin So what should be in the verses? Let's have some fun. Peace, Jim
