It's been many years since I've built a PC - it was a nice surprise to see the assembly be problem free. Tired of Vista, and not wanting to shell out Microsoft tax for Windows 7, I decided to install Mythdora - MythTV on Fedora. It was very disappointing - so I switched to Fedora 14 + XBMC - and was immediately impressed.

Customisations so far -
Auto-login, and auto-start of XBMC -
