Thanks. Still working out some methods for making videos; I eventually plan to submit instructional videos to YouTube, once I get the hang of video production in general.

a small success, I set up a puppy linux live CD, dpup exprimo, for daw duty,
and used a 'frugal install', where the OS extras reside in a file
on the hard disk.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ece001baae
The iso is under 200 meg, and I used puppy package manager to install
the typical fare of linux audio apps, along with a .pet file to install
wine 1.4x:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=255
After a few trial/error sessions, a jackd .118 and qjackctl 3.6
worked well with reaper, and the linux apps. The package manager
uninstalled and installed from within it's repositories,
and by clicking on .debs downloaded at:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/sound/
libfreetype6 was a dependency that failed in the package manager
repositories, but worked by downloading a newer version, and manually
applying it, a five click operation, counting the download.
Puppy linux stores files in a squash file system, .sfs
so I then used the Puppy utility to resize that .sfs file twice,
each time adding eight gig, to hold the vst collection and samples.
This worked fine, you choose from the sizes offered, and the operation
begins on the next boot.
Performance was wonderful, the new 3.x kernels are very nimble, and
nvidia graphics were nearly instant, even on an ancient nvidia 6100
mobo chip.
The .sfs file is sought at boot time, by the live CD, I moved mine from one partition to another, without issue.
Recording a with large number of cpu munchers was light on usage,
from the OS running in ram, to an ntfs partition on disk,
even the Diva demo made an appearance, at default settings. As a bonus,
aj-snapshot was used to save a large number of fx connections, and restored
them all successfully. Still no complete session handling, but Falk
from KX Studio, is perfecting that, in other apps of his creation.
You can save different .sfs files in different configurations, should
the desire exist, it is a very flexible setup, and quite stable as a
a poorboys daw. And very afforable.
Cheers

A new commercial version of a small fast RT linux, preconfigured on behalf
of musicians wanting portability, ease of use, and the possibility to maximize
older computers for new and productive use. $29.95
Cheers, and Happy Easter to KVR
kernel: 3.2.5-smp-preempt-rt10

The Zampler, currently a topic in the instruments forum, works in linux wine
using Cantabile12Lite. Stayed silent in Reaper, a rare occurence, but there are a few.
Maybe someone else will get lucky.
Nice sfz sounds also part of the gift from Synapse.
More sfz support, may lead to sounds useful in the linux sampler project.

Apparently the Shreddage soundset is now also done in SFZ,
no Kontackt needed, to support linuxsampler, Alchemy, Dimension Pro,
Wusikstation, Zampler, and other sfz aware apps.
It also includes a version of Peavy Revalver.
Shreddage in linuxsampler
mo Shreddage elsewhere
http://www.shreddage.com
I have never tested Revalver in linux myself, but someone
out there may like the package as a whole.

And you like a bit of the pup </father ted voice>
But have you checked out FatDog64 with the all in one audio extension?
You have Ardour and LMMS, to be sure, plus a bit of audacity, not to mention Audacious. Are you sure you won't now? Arg.. Go on... You know you want to..
Er, I can't do this anymore. My wife is expecting a baby....

Congrats to the new family, hearing your kids
on the keys, drums, guitars etc is an ultimate reward
I do have a puppy iso downloading atm, to add to the stack.
I'll read up on FatDog. Studio4 is a pleasure to use, as will be 1337.
Cheers
