Not Linux, but since one option is <br>Myth, Linux related. Linux application<br>anyway.<br><br>My Panasonic DVD-RAM unit went dark<br>and died yesterday. Suiting my needs for<br>recording programs, and then removing<br>
the 12 to 15 minutes of ads from each 30<br>minutes of programming, I first thought<br>of simply replacing it.<br><br>But not so simple. A look around shows<br>that Panasonic and its partners that <br>spearhead the DVD-RAM approach have
<br>apparently abandoned the business. One<br>sees ads for "refurbished" units, which <br>can be OK, but I'd rather get something <br>new.<br><br>Anyone have any suggestions for a stand<br>alone unit that might make a good
<br>replacement? I suspect many units that<br>record DVD +/- RW would suffice. But<br>the units take a beating when used in the<br>way I described, and some will probably<br>last longer than others.<br><br>A unit with a hard drive is an option too,
<br>but not one that has a monthly fee.<br><br> -Bob<br><br><br><br>
