I agree it isn't the easiest thing to get working. The first time I did it, it took 4 days to get working, a lot of that was compile time however. The second time I did it (after I hosed one of the partitions, entirely my fault), it only took about a day and a half, this time almost only compile time, minimal troubleshooting.
There is the issue of getting everything just right, I'm running on an M10k. It shouldn't be that bad, I use the machine for myth, to serve up a few webpages, and for bit torrent. I actually have azureus running on that machine, it is a huge memory hog, but the machine still records and plays just fine. AFAIK, there is no way you are going to be running on an EPIA without building a kernel on your own, so having to compile in support for temp monitoring and speed changes shouldn't be a big addition. Maybe the EPIA isn't for the faint of heart, it does need HW decoding inorder for it to be usable. If you are building a HTPC, you should get everything working before it is rolled out in production though, even if it has more then enough power and you can get away with it, otherwise you will find yourself tinkering with a production box and end up frustrated cause you can't watch your shows. -- Asher _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
