A good problem to have - or is it?

perhaps a good how-to and "time-spending/wasting" experience could be Xen on Slackware

Many thanks for all your replies, the MythTV project is coming along fine.

MythTV and XMLTV working just fine.

Pinnacle USBTV 100e detected and set up fine.

Now I just have to get the software to talk to the hardware.

I am sure that this will keep me from getting too bored, and I wouldn't want to deprive you of your own projets, ie, nagios, xen, etc. after all we only ever work on the things that interest us.

I will contribute to any Slack/Myth howto as and when I am at a useable state.

Even if it sounds off-topic, you could spend some time in "real life" (yep, there is one). I think there will anyway come some idea to your mind from time to time if you keep reading and surfing. My "boring" Slackware install just gave me the time to make a new advent calender

wireless was ALMOST working out of the box :/ i almost couldnt fuck it up T.T installed acer_acpi and ndiswrapper+driver. hit enabling command and rc.inet1 wlan0 start retrieved my wireless (after configing need keys etc) en boom wireless was on. 24 minutes of work T.T as opposed to my 3 months of work on slack 10.2 where it worked 2 days before slack 11 got released.

i have 64bit and thus slamd64. i thought i could be busy for a while getting flash to work. how wrong i was ... 11 minutes to make 32bit firefox working with flash support.

jdk 1.6.0 beta and 1.5.someversionnumber. installed with symlinks to java and javac for 1.5 and java6 and javac6 for 1.6 working great and without problems.

what to do T.T i have more to do with ubuntu for crying out loud

.

oh wait now i have time to develop my programs, yay.
