I have been reading a lot and I think I am close to figuring it out. Next step is to actually do it and find out how wrong I really am. :)

I am just talking about stand alone TIVO's. It looks the older series 1's are open to just about anything. The first series 2's are hackable - Moteable, Killinitird, etc. These are the models with the black faces if I am correct here? The latest models (aka 2.5, silver, night-light) require a chip to be yanked, cleaned and burned and put back in. If I am correct here, I think a Series 2 (not 2.5) will be the right purchase for me and 200gig HD will be close behind it.

Looking forward to using some of my Linux skills...

Actually, it sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the basics.
