[ale] Build-In Update: Come One Come All

[Chris Farris]

Also, I've been working on MythTV as a side project that I'm not quite 
ready to announce yet. What I can say is that I've got a PXE-Boot 
install of SuSE that will auto install MythTV 0.19 and (hopefully) get 
everything to work out of the box.

Anyone who wants to show up with a PXEBootable box and a Hauppague 
PVR350 Card can walk away with a complete MythTV Device.

NewEgg will ship the PVR350 card pretty fast and they have them on sale 
for $149. For a cheap PC, I'd suggest Frys. They have a no-name Lindows 
PC for under $200. Its only 128MB of Ram and 40MB HDD so you'll want to 
buy a 512MB Stick and the largest HD you can afford (UDMA not SATA).
