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
This project will rely on Edubuntu and the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). See Free Technology in Education
Free Technology in the Living Room
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
