After seeing my mythbox in action, a friend wants to create their own.
Being more monitarily endowed then me, he is going to plop down some
cash on a fast backend, and some parts to make 2 frontends. He is
asking for my help, since I am the only person that he knows who has a
mythbox, and the only other person I know lives near chicago (not near
me), and I of course and still a newbie at all this stuff, so I am
going to need help.
Continuing my trend of asking users group, instead of 'seaching via
google' is there a good document explaining the tricks, etc for
building a myth system with a seperate backend and frontend?
Please consider reading the documentation available at www.mythtv.org
and possibly http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php
A couple more questions. Should we wait until all the issues that
seem to be coming up with .17 on this list are gone (say a couple of
weeks) or is it fairly stable and these are just oddities?
That's a decision only you can make.
From people's experience, does a standard ethernet network (10/100
mbps network) offer enough thoughput to run two playback only
frontends connecting to one recording only backend, without any
problems?
Yes.
And the last one (I can think of at this time). How do you setup
multiple drives are the place for mythtv to store files, or can this
even be done? For instance, if I have two 80 gig drives, can I make
that into one 160 gig space for mythtv to store recordings?

Please reconsider simply asking questions instead of searching. The
available documentation is excellent and there almost no questions that
haven't been asked and answered over and over again on the mailing list.
