12483, I think. For Maori and Test1-4, at least. The rest (and the guide) 
are 671.

.19-fixes, and as soon as KM comes out with .20 I'll consider upgrading.

Speaking of KnoppMyth, a couple of visiting little girls had a blast 
playing Tux Racer. "I wanna play the penguin game..."

>3) How stable or how often it crashes while recording DVB-S

It only crashes when B1 is going through a bad period, otherwise it is 
solid as a rock. When B1 is bad, I keep priorities the same and just set a 
cron job to start the backend every three minutes. Our antenna quality is 
baaaad...

>4) Any extra info (perhaps you have created a huge swap partition etc)

It records to a LVM volume, don't think that affects it.

B1 is running on it's back up processors, IIRC, so D1 will be better.

Speaking of which, any word on D1 status so far?
