I’ve built a system using KnoppMyth (latest R5E50) about a year ago. I’m using a Hauppauge PVR-350 card and I’ve got 650Gb set up using LVM. It’s not that powerful of a system, but it doesn’t have to be. If you will be using KnoppMyth, definitely check your hardware first for incompatibilities.

I could say I’ve learned python, so I’m crossing this goal off my list. I’m used to C-like syntax programming languages, so I had a bit of an initial hurdle to cross in the beginning, however, I picked it up rather quickly.
It’s a good language to use for making quick scripts (I would definitely use it in place of bash, or sh), but I mentioned I preferred C style syntax. Actually I use Java more than the C languages.
Built a machine that is very much overkill, but it gets the job done.
