 I have got another comment about your cool guide.

 In http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#auto you describe how to
 automatically start myth on boot, but IMO your solution has two
 drawbacks:
 - it assumes that the user has a wm installed, kde in your place
 - it gives any people that know linux access to your box when they
   are at the machine.
 I know you presented that as one out of many possibilities, but
 perhaps you could add another one, too.


======= Start Paste of /etc/inittab =======
id:5:initdefault:

l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown
l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc single
l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork
l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default
l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc nomyth
l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc myth
l6:6:wait:/sbin/rc reboot

# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -I '\033[2J\033[f' 38400 tty1 linux
c2:1234:respawn:/sbin/agetty -I '\033[2J\033[f' 38400 tty2 linux

c9:5:respawn:/bin/su myth -l -c /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit
======== End Paste of /etc/inittab ========
 That starts a raw X for the user myth on boot.

=== Start Paste of /home/myth/.xinitrc ===
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/mythfrontend >> /home/myth/mythfrontend.log 2>> /home/myth/mythfrontend.error.log
==== End Paste of /home/myth/.xinitrc ====
 That starts myth on start of X. If Myth is terminated, X terminates,
 and both are automatically respawned by init.
