Linux howto on winning

I posted this today"well i'm sorry for double posting but i end up waiting too long for a response. yes i have the lastest version of mythtv. yes i have done this:
Setup mysql database mythconverg

Set the root password for the mysql database. (replace mysqlpassword with your own)

Open a Terminal window
> mysql -u root password mysqlpassword

Setup the initial database. Note - the mc.sql file should have been installed along with the mythtv documentation onto your system. The default location for this file is shown below, however it may have been relocated elsewhere according to your distribution's documentation rules, so you may have to use a search (find, locate, etc) tool to reveal its whereabouts. (The following command will prompt for password)
> mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/mythtv/sql/mc.sql

How to Reset the Root Password (Slackware):

Login as a root
> su -

Stop the database
> /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld stop

Set the initial file for a new root database password
> echo "SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('new_password');" > /var/lib/mysql/mysql-init

Change the user and group ownership
> chown mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql/mysql-init

Start a database manually
> /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --init-file=/var/lib/mysql/mysql-init &

Login to the database as a root with a new password
> mysql -u root -p new_password
and i edited /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt.
the backend is running and it still cannot connect to the database.
i still get this: 2008-04-20 15:41:21.161 Using runtime prefix = /usr, libdir = /usr/lib

there is also a host authentication failure message.
Never have i been so frustated by the lack of support and lack of users in the forums. if linux is to succeed, then users should try posting in one centralized location http://www.thelinuxvault.net/wiki/Main_Page.they should know that not everyone is smart and/or intelligent enough to use linux. I am not one of those people, but that does not mean I don't struggle with things.I can understand that double posting clogs forums, but old threads don't often get answered.There should be a unified notifier of already posted threads or a search engine where you type a question, a description and its topic with advance feature to reduce forum clutter and to help more people faster. So would it hurt you to check more often to prevent forum clutter? I will try to not double post.Seriously though what is being done is ridiculous.
I will make the last time i double post, So help me Dao."Within this quote is my idea.

I have decided

I think I should engineer networks.I get sick of doing repairs on other peoples machines at work.They have 600 regular PCs I get to repair. They all have XP. They all have to be managed individually. I would just turn them into thin clients with embedded linux with just 6 things six to maintain. I would have mostly web-based things like googleapps and district pbwiki. All the things i have found like edubuntu,wifi,offsite storage, and anything that is open source,cheap and free; I would implement into a school network or anything like that.That would be better instead of managing some sub standard network.

I cant care

I have tried to setup mythtv on my ps3. to no avail i fail. There is no good documentation. I am so frustrated. Now i think i don't care about anything.

Trip to micighan

Went to harbor springs for spring break. My family went skiing. i could not go skiing due to my leg. I Could be doing other things too. But no, I was stuck not doing much.
