Thanx.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I use two hard drives for each OS. One for
windblows, one for ubuntu which has a bootloader that can boot other hard
drives. Its soo cool that this can be done. If for some reason I
have to take the ubuntu hard drive out or it crashes the bios will choose the
second hard drive which still contains windblows bootloader! I have done
the single hard drive thing before but there are too many things to go
wrong such as partitioning, compression, reallocation of files, defragging, yada
yada yada. Since I don't know Linux all that well I experiment with it a
lot to the point where I have to rewrite my hard drive. Makes it very
convient having both OS separate.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Wes,<BR><BR>Thanks for the info on HDHomeRun. I happen to
live in Orange County, but since I know Bill K from way back in the day, he
suggested posting to LUGOD so here I am.<BR><BR>Might I ask what kind of SD
tuner cards you have? It's looking and more like I won't be able to find
one card that does both digital and analog. That is unless anyone else
throws out a suggestion.<BR><BR>In regards to the video card, I checked the
Nvidia website and they do have Linux drivers. So I think I'm good
there. Unfortunately, this means I probably won't be able to get away
with a mobo that has integrated graphics. Since my mythbox is not going
to be for gaming I was hoping to avoid an extra card inside the computer and
the associate power consumption and loss of air flow.<BR><BR>Jimbo,<BR><BR>Any
particular reason you suggested BeyondTV over SageTV. I've test drove
the Win 7 media center and it seems pretty good for a built in media
center.<BR><BR>How would you transition to Linux? I'm envisioning some
type of dual boot system. Does Win 7 have the same boot loader as
Linux?<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
