I assume you are planning to attach an external hard drive.<br>
Some concerns I have - <br>
1. The ethernet connection is only 100 Mb/s. If you are recording
three channels and watching one or two that will likely be
overwhelmed. <br>
2. The USB 2 is also a limited speed, and I believe that the
ethernet also takes away from the 480 Mb/s available. The USB may
also be overwhelmed, because everything being recorded or watched
must also go over that pipeline, to the disk drive and also to and
from the network.<br>
3. MySQL Database may not perform well and may take a lot of main
memory.<br>
<br>
If you do attempt it, make sure to put your root filesystem on the
hard drive as well, in a separate partition from the video storage.
It may be feasible if you are only supporting one tuner and one
frontend.<br>
<br>
I have doubts about the 64 bit kernel, unless they expand the main
memory. Is there any advantage to having a 64bit kernel if you only
have 1 GB of main memory?<br>
