Hello everybody.
Although I still receive these mails, I don't read them and I just noticed
the news.
This might sound as if, in some way, I'm answering to what Dischi tought:
less and less users. However, in my case, that's not true. I'm a big fan of
freevo. I think it's a great piece of software, and although I miss some
feaures (that freevo2 might have had), I still use it and probably will use
for long long time.
I bought a box to run freevo (p-iv ht, 3GHz) like 8 years ago (in the times
of freevo-1.6, I think) and I still use the same hardware. And I still
can't say it's completely configured to do what I want, because there are
many options and you always want to try new things.
I tried other things, like mythtv and xbmc in another partition. Bloatware,
if you ask me. Now I'm using that partition with freevo too, for testing
purposes. I had to reinstall so many times... ;)
A big thanks to Dischi, Jason, Duncan and all the people that, in some way
or another, have made it possible to enjoy Freevo for a long time, and
still for a longer time to come.
thanks, gracias
Alberto
PD: I'd better make a few last questions in the next few days, hehe :p
