hw is a dell 400sc, 2ghz celeron, 1gb ram (both are overkill, cpu and ram
usage is quite low), pvr-350 card.
network is a standard 10/100 (soon to be gigabit) lan, and i have a wifi
bridge in the garage so i can give servers network access without lugging
them upstairs.
watching live tv on the myth box leaves the cpu about 80% idle, another
frontend stream eats another 5-10%. as a mythfrontend, my laptop's cpu
usage is about 20% which is enough to keep it on the lowest cpuspeed setting
(600mhz).
all in all i'm extremely impressed with it.

Jason -
I saw this post, and have been interested in MythTV for quite some time.
Mind sharing some information on your setup? (System specs / network).
Thanks!
I've very linux savvy (although my distro of choice is Gentoo).
Thanks again,
Eric

Subject: [TriLUG] mythtv issue
i installed knoppmyth on my home server and got it working. can boot
knoppmyth on another machine and connect to the backend fine. pretty
damn cool app (and this is coming from someone with two tivos).
while i was at it wanted mythfrontend on my main laptop (ubuntu breezy)
too, but there aren't any mythtv 0.19 packages so i grabbed the tarball.
everything builds fine but running mythfrontend results in zero network
traffic even though it says it's connecting to the backend server on a
different host. tcpdump at both ends shows no traffic at all. the
mysql-client package is installed, and i can connect using the mysql
command. could this just be a missing dependency during the build that
wasn't detected, or some other silly little thing?
