linux server setup: file, ftp, web, tv, and gaming

this guide is the steps i went through when i upgraded my “server” hecubus to fedora 17. hecubus serves as a file server (samba and nfs), ftp server (pure-ftp), web server (apache, mysql, and php), personal video recorder (mythtv), and game server (tdsm and minecraft). setup for fedora 17 as well as these other packages are detailed. mythtv setup includes setting up hauppage hvr 2250 and pvr 150 cards with schedulesdirect guide information.

i have switched from fedora to ubuntu, so wrote an equivalent guide for ubuntu titled ubuntu linux server setup: file, web, tv, and gaming
