I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm new to Linux, MythTV, and this discussion group.
So far, as I'm sure so many before me, I am ready to throw my box out of the top of a car park. I get so pissed at it, like, all the time. I am following the Myth(TV)ology guide word-for-word and all I can say is that it just don't plain work...at all. Wish I knew more about Linux than I do so I could just figure it out and know all the commands. Here are my machine specs for my MythTV box. - P4 @ 3 GHz - Onboard sound - Onboard Ethernet - Wireless PCI card (which uses the broadcom chip, which has no Linux documentation, so that's 30 bucks down the drain) - PCHDTV HD-3000 Hi Definition Television PCI Card (200 bucks, and only works in Linux!) - Geforce FX 5700 128 MB - Antec Case with internal black light and red case fan However, I am not newbie to computers at all. I build my own and run a part-time business fixing them. My home computer is water cooled and has over half a terabyte of memory. (4 hard drives and 2 DVD burners, two of the hard drives are SATA so I can have 6 IDE devices). Right now I just have to get around to getting my A+ certification and look at the various Linux certifications. This is my (extremely expensive) pet project to get used to the absolute pain that is Linux. Yes, I'm basing my future career on an operating system that I currently hate! Irony... I am hesitant, however, to ask all my very basic questions. I know some of the basics and all about the Linux community (thanks, Slashdot). Pretty much all I know is ls, cd, chmod, and vim (don't know how to use it though). I know newbie's can be a pain in the ass and the last thing I want to be is the clich� Linux noob. Anyway, hi.
