Hi Daniel :) it was just for testing purpose regarding to my new second hand NVIDIA. A friend, a musician, who won't use the computer for music, but for emailing etc. will get a 3.0-beta3 install done by me. I tried it some days ago, when we thought his Vista was broken, but it wasn't the fault of Vista. I need the whole day to repair his hardware, so I still need to install a Linux, 64 Studio, on his machine. He is willing to try Linux, not only because of me, but also because people from his family are Linux users, who can't belief that he is using Windows. He was already thinking of paying for Windows 7, but I gave him a verbal slap in the face. I offered him any Linux plus XP instead. 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 won the race :). The long and the short of it, I do know that 3.0-beta3 is the only valid version, I'll use it, I'll install it for other people. I only wish to know if my NVIDIA would work perfectly, like it does for Suse, when using the current alpha. For music, excepted of the old issue MIDI jitter for external devices, 64 Studio is ok when using the FLOSS "nv" driver. Just GDM is broken, but I don't care about this. Everything is ok here, when using 3.0-beta3, anyway it would be interesting to test the alpha version. To be honest, I already have an unused Karmic install and could test it by revivifying this install again. Thank you for the reply. No problem, I'm able to wait until an alpha or beta version is more stable. Cheers!
