I would be more likely to attend beginner sessions. This may be a
personal preference thing, especially as I like teaching as much as
learning. As I hinted above, I consider exploring the basics (the
underpinnings) more worthwhile than learning too much about this or
that new package. Rather than an in depth presentation, I think an
appropriate overview is consumable by newbies anyway.
As an example, I did learn about MythTV from the presentations, but I
really never knew anything about it until I tried it myself.
Do you think I could run MythTV on seriously older hardware (PII-350) if
I'm willing to run it in resolution just adequate enough for a 2-inch
diagonal?
You mean the playback ?
The playback typically doesn't take all that much resources.
The hard work is done at compression time, but it's relatively easy (CPU
wise) to uncompress.
my old tangerine iBook was the slowest computer I used to watch my
captures on, but being a PPC CPU, there's no straight comparison to a
PII-350
