Hello everyone, I've got a quick question about MythTV.

I bought a Soyo K7VME, and I believe a 2400+ or 2200+ processor that was intended to be my original MythTV system. However, I decided that it might be a better idea to put that one as the backend for further expansion possibilities.

Since then, for the frontend, I've decided to use an ASUS Pundit with a 2.0Ghz Celeron, and 512MB RAM as my main frontend. My question is this, will my 20GB harddrive suffice for the frontend, or will it need to be bigger? I'm wondering this because I want to know whether I should put my 80GB in the backend or frontend, and the 20GB likewise.

Thanks,
VZ

I've done a little with MythTV, so I'll stick my nose out here.
The backend is where everything is stored. There will be a MySQL DB running with pointers to the files on the backend system.

The frontend won't need a huge drive; 20GB should be ok - especially if you are going to run a specialized install (like Knoppmyth).
The backend needs as much space as you can give it. I have a 40GB primary drive (OS and temp files) and an 80GB storage drive in my main MythTV box - and I still can't keep EVERY episode of the Simpsons on it.
This (of course) also depends on your settings and if you're transcoding to another format....but that's a story for another time.

yep 20 gb is fine for a front end
for the backend get as much as possible

I have a 360gb backend and is almost about full! I still want more space

P.S. The Simpsons Rock!
