</div> No one is going to ever learn anything about this stuff if people<br>
continue to be meek about it. Someone needs to be willing to try all<br>
the relevant combinations. If something doesn't work out, they can<br>
report it back and save the next n+1 guys the trouble.<br>
<br>
This stuff doesn't test itself.</blockquote><div> </div></div>That said, I've been on the fence about purchasing the requisite hardware for a solid state, fanless vdapu solution (low power, low noise, and cheap) simply because I have no experience with compiling myth, never used svn, and wouldn't really be able to do a whole lot of it on my own (with current knowledge base).<br>
<br>Backed by a community that isn't terrified of a relative newbie trying to do what he can on the bleeding edge, I might take the plunge.<br><br>I think I'm up to the challenge, but I hope I don't get shot down for asking too many newbie questions!<br>
