Look at me! I’m being a computer nerd!

It’s really late, and I’m up because I’m playing with my computer, trying to build a new toy. Today I found out that I don’t have the necessary TV capture card to build a Freevo. I almost went out and bought one, then I realized that I don’t watch TV. I guess, theoretically, if I had a Freevo, I could watch even less TV because I could skip commercials and record things then never watch it. I decided instead to install Fedora Core 3 and use the box primarily as a music server. With Fedora, though I should be able to do practically anything I want with it. It’ll probably end up being a general purpose file server and web server, too. Of course, when I say I can do practically anything with it, I should specify that I’m running with a PIII and 256MB of RAM. Oh, and also I’m running Linux, which means, well, I can’t do like normal stuff that I’d do with a real computer.
