Migrations to new releases of Fedora are not a huge problem for me since I use a separate partition for system files (including repository managed packages) and separate partitions for home directories (/home), multimedia files (/store and /music), and web server root directories (also under /home).   About the only […]

After installing F9 I had to go through the process of reinstalling all my old multimedia tools. Fedora doesn’t generally include support for playing MP3s or DVDs so you have to install them from alternate repositories such as Livna or ATrpms. I’d written up how to do this in the […]

I’m finally getting back to using my Epia M10000 board as a MythTV frontend.  The goal here is to configure it to run with a CF card for booting and a wireless card to communicate with the backend, and use the TV-output connected to our TV in the living room.  […]

It’s that time again. Time to upgrade all the servers in the house (and at work, probably early next month) to the latest Fedora release. I started with my MythTV server since it only serves two purposes: run as the MythTV backend and run BOINC. I jumped into this a […]

I recently did a major systems upgrade at home, moving multiple systems from FC2 and FC3 up to FC5.  One of those systems holds my MythTV backend server while another is my wireless connected laptop running the MythTV frontend.  Obviously, the front and backends got updated too, along with the […]
