I’ve been working on my development system lately trying to determine what operating system I want to use for it. In my "production" Mythtv server I am using Fedora. I started out with Fedora Core 5 on this box and have upgraded it to Fedora Core 8 over the years. Fedora is now up to Fedora 13, with Fedora 14 […]
Read moreThe "review" is of the BlueTooth version there is a 2.4Ghz version as well. Lots of nice pictures of the Rii Mini in the article.
