Why use LTSP for this purpose? Because I like it, it's very easy to get working thin clients with ltsp. You can handle everything from one server and you have only one database (mysql) and one backend (mythTV) running on this server! So just the frontend is running on the client and normally the client must not run, and you can record programs (This I have not tried it because I've no TV-cards and also I have not finished the server know). > There are > several very good thin network booting solutions designed for MythTV. > I've used a couple of them but I think the one closest to what it > sounds like you are after is MiniMyth (http://www.linpvr.org).
