Hi,
Sorry for the late response. Glad you're making headway.
As for me I have 4 Pundit-R's running mythfrontend under fluxbox.
All machines use Celeron D's and have 256MB. One Pundit-R also acts as
an NFS server for the backend machine so the recording hardware

I don't have keyboards or mice hooked to any of these machines.
They are controlled purely using StreamZap remotes ($25) via USB.
What type of IR hardware are you using? I ask because I just got
As I thought I said, we are using the StreamZap remote. It comes with
it's own USB receiver:

The machine spawns mythfrontend on display 0: from /etc/inittab so
if Myth dies unexpectedly it's just automatically restarted. I shut
the machines down using sudo. It all works really well for us.

Initially, I was running without a window
In gentoo, if you don't specify a window manager in /etc/rc.conf (or in
your home directory) you get a really simple one that I think may be a

At any rate, if your really not doing anything but Myth on the box, I'd
