I have been using Freevo for a few years now and I love it and also currently use it on a Debian Etch distro (Mepis 3.4). The one thing I did differently than the author is that I run "freevo recordserver start &" in a init script so that it automatically starts every time I boot up so I don't have to remember to restart the recordserver everytime I lose power and reboot my computer. There have been several times where I forgot to restart it when I rebooted my computer and missed recording something because I didn't have the recordserver running in the background. I tried messing around with MythTV, but I liked Freevo better. It's a pain in the a$$ to initially set up, but once it's up and running, it works flawlessly. And I always back up all my config files (/usr/local/freevo,<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/home/.freevo/ etc), so it's not a major issue to restore my settings whenever I upgrade or trash my system and have to reinstall everything.
