Installing the Zotac ND22

Spent most of my time installing Windows, first for a BIOS update. Later for an Android firmware update (Sony-Ericsson Xperia X8) that can only run from Windows. Anyways, XP does not support USB of the ND22 during the initial setup, you can possibly get around this by disabling 'Legacy USB support' in the BIOS. Didn't try that, hopped to Vista and that worked. Took about 2 days to install all patches though. Then it took more than 30 minutes for Sony Ericsson to install their USB cable driver, but that's another story..

Installing MythBuntu was a breeze. Setup date/time and account settings, the partitioning scheme and off it went. I didn't start with a MythBuntu backend, so the connection the backend didn't work out from the start. But after copying the appropriate mysql.txt line from another frontend it worked fine. Also updated to nvidia-current just in case, it's in ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates. Apparently they fixed some VDPAU decoding problems there, which is nice.

It now runs the Ubuntu Netbook desktop and it works pretty sweet. Also installed Flash 10.2 for YouTube support, and Dropbox to sync files to and from the old Mac Mini. Flash crashes a lot though, about every new video you click in firefox gives a crashed plugin..

Getting the Airport Extreme/Express combos to properly sync at a high speed was another story, and involved using my iPhone to look for the place with the strongest signal. I'm still not quite happy with the setup, but it appears to work now with 2 access points on the same SSID.

Well, that's it.
