Is Linux always so frustating^

[duncan brown]

wow, today's just an apt happy day.

you can also install mythtv and other such software.  and what makes you feel that your video card wouldn't be compatible?  or are you talking about your capture card?

if you install apt and synaptic (http://www.linuxadvocate.net/apt) and then add some repositories like dag's and freshrpm's, you'll be set for software, including macromedia flash.

I would like to switch it over to Linux as well (being that on the rare occasion that I find myself working on the XP box it usually crashes) but I think the hardware, specifically the video card, would not be compatible w/ Linux, and I like the fact that my XP box records TV (much like TiVo), however is someone could point me towards some literature into turning my linux box into a PVR I would be most appreciative.

Time will end all my troubles, but I don't always approve of Time's methods.
