Linux isn't for the weak of heart

This Linux computer is going to drive me nuts.

All I want is a web server, file server, DVD transcoding server, and MythTV backend/frontend -- that's clearly not too much to ask from the hardware, and certainly well within the means of the OS, but it's starting to be far too much work for me to get configured.

Considering that I have been fiddling with this for the better part of three months, it's almost getting to the point where I want to give up the whole thing. But I know I won't, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
