It would also be great have to have dual Haupagge 350s in a box, so you can record two programs at the same time, while watching either a stored program, or one of the recording ones. John

I suspect I could reduce the resolution so that an hour takes up half as much disk space. Do the math to figure out how much disk space you'd want. I had 18GB for a while but I found that it filled up too fast, especially when you tell MythTV to record every episode of "The Three STooges" and then you hit the marathon. :-) I think MythTV recommends a 1.5-2.0Ghz machine, but I don't think you need that much for just recording and watching programs. Then again, if you plan to use it for transcoding and such, get as fast a machine as you can afford. My MythTV box has 256 MB of memory and it seems pretty happy.

It has the hardware MPEG encoder & decoder on board, which I thought was a nice feature. I'm using KnoppMyth and have no problems with it. I very much encourage the use of KnoppMyth because I found that getting all of the pieces of MythTV working together was a royal PITA - probably more so than any other FOSS project that I've tried. I'm using an Xbox as the frontend and a PIII/450MHz as the backend. I'd recommend more horse power on the backend, but I get away with it since the 350 does most of the work for me. I purchased the Xbox remote control/receiver also. Although I found MythTV a bit difficult to get working (there are a zillion things to configure), the result is *well* worth it, and once configured, there isn't much else to do except enjoy it. I can't speak about Tivo since I don't own one and have never used one. Currently, I don't have digital cable, so my 350 can tune into the desired station on its own. What can one do with digital cable besides connect the TV tuner card to the "cable box" output? I don't know of any TV tuner cards which can tune directly off of a digital cable box.

Re: [Wlug] Its Meeting time !

A little late and I'm not really a public speaker but... I have recently configured a fairly complex directory which backs a number of applications Unix/Linux accounts , SAMBA domain, Open Exchange Groupware, Jive Messenger (a jabber server), postfix, VPN Concentrator 3500. All user / group account information is managed through smbldap scripts from IDELX which I patched to also support the Open Exchange attributes and some convenience stuff for bulk adding users and keeping passwords in sync across all applications. This is an attempt to rid my network of Microsoft and it's working well so far, for a company of 63 people. If someone is looking for some uses for LDAP out side of just an email directory I may be able to help. Or if you just have any questions. I would not consider my self an LDAP authority but it took quite a bit of work/research to get this working. -Matt On 8/8/05, John Stoffel <john(a)stoffel.org> wrote: > > I wish I could make the meetings, since I'd like to talk with people > about getting udev to work with these MP3 players, since it's a semi > black art.

I wish I could make the meetings, since I'd like to talk with people about getting udev to work with these MP3 players, since it's a semi black art. Though there is a good writeup on the net about how to use udevinfo to help setup things. Someone needs to write a tool to scan the bus, ask you to insert the device, then re-scans the bus and suggests the udev rule(s) to make the device do what you want. Then, in the futire, it would just work! As it is, writing udev rules is a bit of a hit or miss, though once you get your mind wrapped around using udevinfo, it' isn't too bad to figure out what to do. John

If/when this happens, it will be at some future WLUG meeting (not Aug 2005). I would like to see this happen! In an earlier email, Frank Moody said that he would see about setting up his iRiver with his laptop. With that, I think the meeting would then be about MP3 players. Eric, please bring your ipod and whatever you need to do a demo of it. If anybody has a different type of MP3 player that works with Linux, bring it along, (the more, the merrier). I had hoped to have my new MP3 player for the meeting, but the dude on eBay from whom I purchased this player is taking his time shipping it to me (auction closed 02-aug, not shipped yet...). Thanks!

Well, as usual, I have something to say on this matter....whether or not I have something to actual ADD, ill leave up to you! We use MS Active Directory to authenticate users onto our linux servers. Altho I am no expert, I can share with ya'll my config files and experiance. I am also interested in hearing about LDAP as well. --- Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)comcast.net> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > HI Everybody, > > Time flies, especially in the summer.

Shame it (the Rio) died a mysterious death. :( The LDAP discussion has my attention, though. :D -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com

If you get it working on your laptop, it would be great to see at a meeting. Thanks!

I'd be very interested in an LDAP talk though... Frank
