So, the machine is working, has Ubuntu 6.10 installed and MythTV 0.20. Also have the VFD display working and almost have the volume knob working. IR is working and DVD playback works. Next step is to take it home, rig it up to our aerial and see if I can get any Freeview channels. Then the reall fun starts =)

BIg thanks to Garry Parker for his HowTo. He also makes a mighty fine shed.
Ursula, my desktop machine running the Ubuntu OS (Karmic Koala at the moment, soon to be Lucid Lynx) does enjoy her geeky toys. Shown running on one of her desktops today are: Twidge, a CLI Twitter client; and the BOINC Manager running SETI@home, listening for aliens from outer space. Ursula and I both know those aliens are out there, chatting amongst themselves. And we want to hear what they're saying, dammit!
Josh installed a four port firewire card in the linux server. Now the 250 gig external back up can mount and unmount from the command line.
While he was at it he configured the Linksys to do a little port mapping and assign some IP addresses.
