   This option is a lot more doable with MythTV. Unix in general readily
allows for remote administration. It's been years since I've been in the
same building as the servers I work with (professionally).

   ssh looks much the same regardless of the machine is right next too
you or on another continent.

   I've done trans-atlantic server maintenance when the occasion called
for it and I got paged away from the office. You can even route X through
the ssh connection and run the frontend on the remote box. This might be
painful over a WAN link though...
