It does have a couple mini-pci slots. One has a TV / Radio tuner and the other has a poor WiFi card (from what I have read you can replace that with another card and get much better pperformance). The tuner card is obviosly not hardware based but people have gotten it to work. I don't think I would use that tuner simply because I am not a fan of software cards. I have a dedicated backend server for that stuff. I would simply use it as a front end. I have never used Gentoo as an OS before, I think that it would be pretty interesting to play with. I do enjoy a challenge though. That is why I started with Myth in the first place. It took me 3 months to get a combined FE/BE working with a remote and sound and picture. It now takes me only an hour or so Jarod's Guide and FC3. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
