Review # 1 was written on 2019-12-08 00:00:00 Jeanne Hale For the uninitiated, MythTV is a video recording and handling package for Linux - it turns your humble Linux distribution into a home theatre and TV handling machine. I originally bought this book for two reasons: one - I was struggling with MythTV and getting nowhere at the time, and two - if I did succeed in getting it working, I wanted to learn how to do more with it in the future. This book has been only a partial answer on both fronts. It is a walk-through of installing MythTV on a Ubuntu based system, and as such has little troubleshooting help in it beyond avoidance of any pitfalls you may encounter along the way. It does have some advanced uses documented in the book, and has yielded some nuggets of information I previously didn't have on how to use and operate MythTV, but in the end it is for new users of MythTV, and fairly Linux-literate users at that. Do buy if you want to install and use MythTV for the first time. Don't buy if you want help with troubleshooting or advanced hacking of the system. That having been said, this is a well-written and competent book.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-04-22 00:00:00 Steven Salazar Considering what it is, I find this really good. Depending on your knowledge, I think this can be eye-opening in terms of intercultural communication, and it most importantly brings a lot of perspective to standard Hofstede cultural learning. There are also a variety of thinkers and theories presented, which just makes it a good introductory book, while at the same time bringing various ideas that makes it a hybrid book in terms of "entertainment" and pure studying of knowledge. I quite appreciate having worked with this.
