It's already implemented into VDR. You need nvram to write start-time
into CMOS-clock (only working with some mainboards). You know - RTFM
VDR-INSTALL/MANUAL ;o)

On the client to be started it's only hardware/BIOS - no OS. You need to
connect a WOL cable from your NIC to your mainboard and enable WOL in
the BIOS. On the other PC you need a tool capable to send a wake-up
frame to your client. I think ASUS had such a Windoze-tool delivered
with NIC-onboard-mainboards. But I don't know other tools.

If someone knows a Linux-tool which creates WOL-frames I also like to
know about it ... :o)
