[mythtv-users] CentOS and 0.27-fixes (which really just means always-latest)

[Nick Campbell]

I think that is what I bought :-)  I am broke right now so I didn't get
anything super robust..  My computer is a AMD athlon 2 3.0Ghz dual core 4
gig DDR3 1333 64gb SSD ext4 for OS and 2 TB WD red JFS for video.  I
originally had a HP Proliant M350 with kubuntu 12.04 with mythbackend only,
and a 2 gig DDR2 800 intel 2.5ghz something cheapy frontend with mythbuntu
12.04...  The main reason for the switch is because I'm pulling that server
to use as a LAMP server instead of a mythtv personal server..  So I hope I
have enough computer to run a frontend/backend setup..  I think it will be
just fine, but I had this snag getting the TV signal to display..  I was so
excited when mythbackend worked, and mythfrontend worked, and then this..
 Oh well I'm sure I'll figure it out.  I've just had several more important
projects skip ahead of this one so I haven't had a chance to install the
new video card and test it out.

Thanks again for your input.
