If it's a dedicated VDR box, why bother installing a desktop at all? I control my VDR boxes with ssh from my main desktop and since they're dedicated there's no need for KDE/Gnome/whatever. No need for a keyboard/mouse/(monitor) either for that matter. Just ssh and an IR remote. :) >> Using a passively cooled main board would solve the >> fan noise problem. There are _very_ quiet fans out there. I've got a 10mmx120mm one that you can't even hear and does the job. Unfortunately I don't remember which brand/model it is but a little googling will help you with that. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
