Freevo is comparable to a VCR, while MythTV is your modified tivo with all the nifty features. MythTV has binaries for Debian and RedHat, and it's fairly painless to setup/configure. A 200MHz processor is not sufficient, luckily "low end" PII/PIII's are cheap, and you should be able to just swap it in. You'll also need more ram, luckily, it is also very cheap. > > I'm looking to set it up on a PC I've had laying around here for a > while. It's a Celeron 200MhZ w/ 32MB ram.
