<br>I was interested to know if a Secondary Backend could run independently from the Master.

<div>I used a slave backend for a while because my master backend was running RH9 and I needed FC4 in order to have the updated DVB support needed for my HD cards. This was I could have very different kernels supporting different hardware without trashing one or both systems.</div>
