I’ve been reading and reading on this and still a bit confused, but... I plan on building a FE/BE system to replace a failing Tivo 1 hack system. Below is a list of hardware I was planning on utilizing for this system. I was leaning toward Fedora since I have a bit more knowledge with it. I already have a MySQL server running on a W2K3 system; can I utilize this system also for MythTV or should I just install another MySQL instance on the Fedora box?</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div><br></div>Using what you already have is fine as long as you realize there is going to be a LOT of MySQL activity.
