We have been working on this MythTV "installathon" for some time on the gnhlug organizer's list. I sent out this first "announcement" to the greater list just to tell people what is going on, and to let them reserve the day of March 31st. All of these questions will be answered (and I can tell you that you are fairly close with your configuration thoughts), but I beg that the list wait for a couple of days for us to tally up the information that we got from the pilot, get the recommendations nailed down, and then send out the recommended systems, distributions, etc. I hope it will mean a better signal-to-noise ratio for the list. If people want to do something different, with different cards, etc. then we can consider that over time. But for right now let's look at an 2N problem rather than an N**2 problem. And of course if people want to discuss this endlessly on the "discuss" list in the meantime, that is what it is for (I guess), but I think it might be better if people wait a day or two to see what the recommendations are, and why.
