Hi all. I just joined this mailing list about 2 days ago, and have been
reading almost every message for tips and tricks. I am completely new
to the MythTV scene and am very interested in becoming a part of the
growing community. One thing that I have noticed in the messages and on
the increasing number of websites is that it seems to require quite a
bit of knowledge when it comes to Linux. I have been a dedicated
PC/Windows guy since Windows 3.1 and the day's of DOS. However, I don't
really know anything about Linux and the like. How much into Linux
should I go as far as training for preparations? I downloaded KnoppMyth
and ran the front end only to kinda get the basics, but even that has me
overly confused. I downloaded the SUSE Live Eval DVD and have been
experimenting with that. I'm not a slow learner, and have never taken
any courses to learn any of this. I'm a self-taught computer
fanatic/hobbyist so I'm not scared to learn something new. I'm just
curious how much into Linux I should read about and play with to get a
good system up and running. Any help, and/or ideas on directions to go
would be great.
I'd also like to take this time to give the original writer of MythTV,
Isaac Richards <mailto:ijr at po.cwru.edu>, a big pat on the back for a job
well done.
Looking forward to spending many hours learning the ins and outs with
all of you.
- Aaron
