I just took my new 64Studio 3.0beta system (Dell Latitude D531) for a spin last night. Recorded via a Behringer 8-channel board into a U-Control USB interface; everything worked right out of the box. Recorded a few of guitar tracks with Rakarrack and zetteberlin's excellent AMS patches (great job, man!).
Issues so far; nothing major. The Ubuntu splash that showed up on install was pretty crummy looking, and it would be nice to have more branding (bootsplash theme, grub theme, etc). Also, that giant close-up of that tuning machine on the desktop is getting just a tad old; maybe someone could dig up a good picture of a vintage amp or analog mixing board, like UbuntuStudio. :) Besides asthetic issues, a few apps that I like are still missing. In particular, Rakarrack 3.0 and Guitarix<http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/>(the later is a brand new amp sim suitable for metal guitar; it's brand new but it's already in the Packman repo for openSUSE). Also, I am unable to get my broadcom wifi card to work. In Ubuntu Hardy, the restricted drivers app took care of finding the drivers for me. That app is in 64studio but it doesn't do anything. Can someone point me towards the "Debian" way of finding the needed drivers/firmware? In openSUSE I just downloaded a couple b43 rpms. Looking good so far. Great job guys! Zak
