|
|
This is a guide to setting up your GNU/Linux computer as a VCR. Setting up my VCR took a little research, but it
|
|
didn't turn out to be as difficult as I thought. I decided to publish my results so others may benefit from what
|
|
I've done. This is by no means the only method to achieve the same results as there are several applications out
|
|
there that may perform similar tasks. Hopefully any unique procedures for configuring other software or devices
|
|
may be incorporated into this document.
