I have only one (am I poor ;)) hauppauge dvb-s. my system has a celeron 266 
which runs on a via pro+ mobo with 64mb ram and a 510mb disk (I'll upgrade 
that in 4 weeks and I know that I can't record much at the moment). I'll try 
to get it working with a cyrix media gx @233mhz.

my box runs with reiser fs (like my normal pc). I don't have any problems 
with it.
