that does look mega cool, but it's a bit disappointing that you can't just download it. i guess they need to eat for their labours tho...

What do you say, would double boot Linux/WinXP work?

Linux for surfing, typing...
XP for music only

Is there a mozilla/thunderbird for Linux?

thanks

Oh yeah.
Pretty much everything you can get for Win (1) exists for Linux: Mozilla proper, FireFox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, tons of themes, extensions (except AddBlocker and a handful of related ones), you name it.

(1) Mozilla related.

I checked out sourceforge.net and did a search for
dssi, sorry I got it wrong before. Not all vst's work and there is a list somewhere on the net? with the tested ones on.
Muse, rosegarden and ctljack all have newer version out now, newer than on the DeMuDi disk. The problem is they are tarballs and need installing so that's somthing else to learn. How to gain permissions and install stuff?

Had to go to the library and get a book on Linux..

Looks cool, although I would be prepared to pay I think Linux is too early in the development yet for music as its changing fast, every few months in fact!

I can see now that Linux could be developed into a dedicated daw as the kernel can be recompiled and stripped back to operate just as a dedicated music OS without the bloat.

Now, where's that book....

Of course if you have some bucks to burn (ha!), you could always use VMWare and run a Linux virtual-machine in the middle of your Windows install...

Anyway...I'm curious: is anyone finding (or have heard about) any particular flavors of Linux appearing to be better suited in any way for audio applications? I do most of my server admin work on SuSE, which I've been real happy with....so I'm wondering how that might work out.

It's mostly a matter of libs. Agnula/DeMuDi, Planet CCRMA and one or two others are all supposed to work out of the box(ish). I've found that some important libs are missing from SuSE and installing these kicked me into dependency-hell. Which is a worse place than The City Of Dis.
No idea how things have changed with SUSE 9.2.
