The article is mostly positive, but sucks.  It sounds like it was
written by a high schooler with zero linux experaince and an inablity
to read docs.  The article mentions having problems getting LIRC to
see thier remote,  needing to launch gedit from a command line to edit
configuration files (ever heard of vi guys???), and past problems with
MySQL talking to Myth.

Based on this quote from the article:
"Apparently, projects like MythTV have Certificate Codes, and after a
quick Google search we found one that worked. To save you that
trouble, it's ZIYN-DQZO-SBUT."
It is apparent that they didn't bother to read the offical docs, which
I find unacceptable.
