LinVDR understands itself as a complete solution. Of course, i can get 
a normal Distribution and install all the necessary things to get VDR 
running, but this takes much time and you have to know much things 
about VDR and Linux.

LinVDR is "ready to use". Just install the Distribution and use it.

Now take your own opinion whats the "way to complicated" solution.

just want to _use_ software. Not everyone is willing to spend the time 
or knowledge to learn all the necessary things to get a VDR solution 
running.
