[mythtv-users] dreaming hardware configuration

[David Whyte]

How long would it take to perform a network boot?

In my house the power bill is excessive enough as it it.  I might be
able to persuade to allow the backend to be onn permanently, but as
for a couple of frontends, I think I am pushing it.  I was looking at
Xbox's but I don't know how long it takes to boot.

Cheers,
Dave
