内容概要

You don't do stuff like this to cut corners. You do it because you want what you wantand because it's fun. And a personalized MythTV is so much more than a PVR. You can combine HDTV, DVD, all kinds of music, radio, photos, even a plug-in videophone module. All you need is a little Linux know-how, assorted software components and plug-ins, an adventurous nature, and this book to tell you how it all goes together. Voilàthe entertainment hub of your dreams. 作者简介：    Jarod Wilson has been an avid Linux user since circa 1997, when he was first introduced to Red Hat Linux 4.2 in a UNIX Operating Systems course in college. One spring about three years ago, Jarod was between jobs and discovered the MythTV project, and loved it so much he decided to help try to make it accessible to as many people as possible, and thus was born his MythTV on Fedora HOW-TO, dubbed Fedora Myth(TV)ology, which he still maintains to this day (when time permits). Professionally, every job he’s held since college has incorporated daily use of Linux. Jarod recently left high-performance computing cluster vendor Linux Networx, where he was an on-site field service engineer for a large customer, for a job at the very company from whence his first taste of Linux came. Jarod currently works in Red Hat’s Enterprise Kernel Group as a senior software engineer, focused on kernel testing, but also contributes time and effort to Red Hat’s Fedora Core Linux community distribution.
