I do a lot more listening than talking on this list, but I thought I'd let you know I'm still here.
I still have 64 Studio beta 3 installed and I use it for my music related tasks. I have a second partition which I have been trying out Suse and Crunchbang a bit. I may try Ubuntu Studio on top of Crunchbang when 9.10 is released. Despite its beta status, I haven't had a major reason to switch until recently. I finally got a monitor to connect to my laptop and it would be nice to get dual monitors working with my Radeon. I only breifly tried to get it to work, so I'm not sure if its a configuration thing or if I need newer packages of radeonhd/xorg/xrandr. I glance through the forums occasionally, but it is tedious to do with its limited funcitonality. Not being able to mark things as read without opening each topic is annoying. Not having a feed of new posts is a drag. I only recently discovered that if you goto /forum instead of /forum/11, you get a list of active topics at the bottom of the page. Does anyone else find the forum hard to use? While there has been a decline of activity on this list and the forum, I have been seeing Free's name appear a lot more on the debian multimedia packagers list a lot more. That is a good sign that progress is being made to get us(and other debian based media distros) newer packages. :) Brian > Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 06:36:16 +0100 > From: Ralf Mardorf <[email protected]> > Subject: [64studio-users] To less communication at the forums and at > the mailing list > To: 64 Studio Users <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Does anybody read the forums? > > I did today. > > First, there are some important discussions from this month. > Second, there are some old, but unsolved threads about serious issues, > e.g. this one http://www.64studio.com/node/1283. > > For sure, I won't be the one "capturing" the forums, after being dissed > for "capturing" the mailing list ;). > > I would like to see some more traffic on the forums and the mailing > list.
