That's just the reality of it. true but it is getting there... i dont know if you have heard about this one: http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~s712059/gsmp/index.html doesn't compile on Mandrake, although the last release (released yesterday) is supposed to.... but it didn't work for me. i run demudi as well, and it rocks for audio........ there lies the future: specialised distroes... gamer distro, music destro, office destro..... we here an OS you can tweak as much as you want . lots of us still think in a windows way: one os that does everything (like mandrake). this leads to compromising resources and possibilities. and it doesn't matter if there isn't the equivalent of cubase or logic in linux. that's not what linux is about. linux is about people programming an app because it doesn't exist, because nobody thought of doing it that way. that's what i love about linux. i've used cubase and logic for years, and i am tired of them, because the way they opporate influences ur creative process. i am first and foremost a composer. i want music tools. not software that does better what software used to do 15 years ago, if you follow me. > > I still love Linux and use it quite a bit, but just not for music. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jose M.
