Currently I'm working on building an Educational System featuring a server running Edubuntu and a diskless, noiseless, thin client workstation both as a project to teach my 8-yr old son about computers, and as a springboard to speak with local educators about solutions for Technology in the School District.
I'm also learning about MythTV because I'm planning to build a Home Entertainment Multimedia Center
Of course both of these projects are founded entirely on Free and Libre Open Source Software
Free Technology in Education[edit | edit source]
This project will rely on Edubuntu and the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). See Free Technology in Education
Free Technology in the Living Room[edit | edit source]
This project is based on MythTV. MythTV is part (more than) full-featured Digital Video Recorder (DVR) software for Linux. The most famous DVR is probably TiVo, which also runs on Linux, but MythTV differs from TiVo in several ways. MythTV:
- is 100% free
- runs on standard computer hardware
- has no monthly fees
- is highly customizable
- allows you full unencrypted digital access to all your audio and video content
- is optimized for features, not profits
