This weekend I tool the time again to “play” with my computer and I came up with something nifty. ;)

I used my old PC (Athlon 800Mhz) and did a fresh install of ubuntu “edgy” and a couple of hours later, following a couple of guides on the internet (thanks, guys) I had MythTV running on my old TV.
It’s all open source and I am amazed what it can do.

This thing plays DVDs, DIvX/XviD/OGM movies, my music collection, my photos, fetches the weather, records TV, cuts advertisements out, can be programmed from the web, contains a ftp-server to upload new things, streams music and TV, fetches new stuff via bt, it’s virtually limitless :)

Now all I need is a wireless keyboard and a beamer :D
