[23:13] <sauc1er> got a setup q:
[23:13] <sauc1er> I am in the process of building a home server (VM, smb, etc...). It is *buntu based and I want to setup a barebone system (thinking of a zotac nano box) as front end. Is it better to integrate the backend into the existing server or would it be better to buy another box with an mITX board and install the tv card in there.
[23:13] <sauc1er> To break it down: Run the "backend" locally on the HTPC and use existing home server as NAS or get a barebone and use just as frontend
[23:23] <dekarl> if you keep the "existing server" running 24/7 anyway its easiest to just put some DVB cards and disks into it. You can the netboot your frontend from there
[23:25] <dekarl> the devs will hint at using a real CPU with good performance/power ratio instead of crippled stuff like Atom, etc.
