[mythtv-users] modernizing mythtv

[Hika van den Hoven]

To come back to a more fundamental issue. No server/backend application
should depend on a graphical environment other then WEB. Running X for
those is a wast of resources. That is one of the main reasons I find
Windows unsuited for server applications. On my server running
mythbackend among others I have only the most basic graphical card
present, so I can if needed watch the boot process and implement new
kernels. The only reason X is even installed is Mythsetup, which I
only start at need. The rest I manage by ssh or more and more the web.
Originally a lot of people were running both back and frontend on the
same machine, but nowadays more and more people are splitting this up.
So I see mythsetup as an archaic inheritance of old times, that should be
replaced by a more modern web interface.
