I'm assuming you either compile in the nupple video (sp?) decode stuff
or you really really just want the GUI? And all the other features:
music/ripping/dvd/etc are either going to call MAC versions or you mean it
will play out of the other box and you are basically just using myth as a
stripped down VNC? (I use VNC to control my remote machines around work and
the house) The advantage I see of using the remote myth for
recording/getting EPG data/holding music/etc. is still limited by the fact I
expect to mount my media over the network. (an expected limitation on my
part) I expect that the mysql connection will be using odbc or a direct
mysql socket....
