Ubuntu lirc configuration files

About

As I very often suggest what people's configuration files should look like in IRC, I thought I would write it down for all to see.

P.S. I think this guide needs some work, I'm just getting the basics down on paper while they're fresh in my head.

Types of Remote

If you're using one of these USB remotes You are using lirc_mceusb or lirc_mceusb2

If you're using a serial device, you are using lirc_serial
