You have to understand that, in this experiment, I was playing the _role_ of someone with cheap and/or old hardware. I, personally, have no interest in getting MythTV running on a 600 MHz P3 or of using MythTV, myself, on _any_ platform. I *do* have an interest, however, in making the MythTV accessible to as many people as possible. And in that regard, I believe our goals are the same. The purpose of the particular experiment was to see how far the hardware boundaries of an InstallFest could be stretched. Don't confuse _me_ with _my role_ in the experiment. > We're going this to help the "home user" crowd who see the computer > as a tool, and just want it to work, with a minimum of effort and > fuss. If any In keeping with the FOSS spirit of openness and inclusivity, I would like to see InstallFests open to as many different budgets and different types of hardware as is *practical*. That is, without being an impractical burden on the rest of the event. It was the intent of this experiment to sniff-out where this boundary _really_ lies. (Not where we assumed it lied.) And, in that regard -- proof, ego, and quibbling aside -- I believe that the experiment accomplished its intended goal. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
