*don't* get me started on BeOS - I'll be crying into my beer here soon.

Well, it means you can remove the insecure services from Linux if you so choose.

Then you're left with a Linux box that does nothing.

Yeah, like all those firewalls i gave as examples. They do nowt.

Make sure you don't tell my clients, or that's me out of a job.

ps. See also, Unix.

Nothing?! How odd! Last time I looked, Linux machines were quite capable of running as non-networked devices. Has this changed?

LOL!

It's so true. I gave Linux a valiant try around the time Mandrake 8.2 came out (I tried other distros, but I remember that one in terms of a time-marker). Too much time spent for too little return. I spent the whole time getting it to do what Windows was already doing fine.

It didn't add anything extra to the mix for me. I eventually got tired of trying to get it to work just so that I could give 2 fingers up to Microsoft. It broke my will.

"Unix is not free and takes up equally as much of your time."

Exactly my experience.

Maybe if future windows 'protection' becomes more draconian or something I may think again, though it could be said my current system works fine for me so no real reason to upgrade ever... (yeah , I know... )

BeOS! BeOS! The real multimedia OS!

Even though I have stopped developing my studio software for BeOS I still haven't given up on the idea of using is for music production. It is the perfect OS to use with a DAW, dead easy to use, stable and fast, excellent media framework. And there's not a lot of overhead there compared to Windows.
YellowTab has been growing a lot lately, and they finally seem to be heading in the right direction. I think there's a possibility of porting JUCE and finally perhaps even Tracktion to Zeta. And after some time, Haiku will catch up and we'll have an excellent free OS for media production

I know I'm a bit of a dreamer, but I actually think that it might happend. There's enough people that want to get away from Windows but don't have the time to fiddle with linux and not the money to buy a mac.

Still I'd rather use Tracktion in linux than in Windows. I can at least strip down linux and optimise it for DAW use only. Something I can't do with windows.

What the heck, KLF? First of all, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. And second of all, why would it affect you? It's no different than if any other company said, "We now offer Linux compatibility!" What difference should it make to you?

Well none as I said but anyway...

Fair enough. I don't have a stake in it either, not being one who wants to go into Linux. I was merely pointing out that I didn't understand why you were getting so 'into' it when if you're not affected by it, there's not reason to get so hot.
