Whenever someone asks me "Where do I start learning linux?", I tell them to install *whatever distro I'm currently using (FC3)* and then learn to use the following commands: man apropos locate (or find) As well as "Google is your friend." That's a good place to start with Linux. You were on the right track with the books too, although there are tons of good resources on the net. As for MythTV, I'm just getting started myself. I've got all the parts installed in the box now, with the exception of my second PVR 250 which has not yet arrived. I'm using Jarod's guide, and it is really working out well so far. I would highly recommend it. I'm probably only about 50% done (guesstimate) and I've been working on it for about 2 hours. When you take the plunge, be sure to come back to the list, it's very helpful, as long as you don't ask "Why isn't this a forum?". More than likely I'll be posting some questions of my own in a few days. HTH Garry
