I am NOT 100% linux, and I will tell you why: I am a musician. currently, there are NO apps that can even come close to comparing to the capability and features of their windows/mac counterparts. At home, I use one PC for Music, while all the rest of my computers (my server, and my communications machine) are all on gentoo. I also have a laptop that I use for work, and its running windows 2k at the moment because I have current running projects that require .net development (yeah..yeah..snicker all you want, ive got to pay the bills somehow while I get up to speed on the unix world). For all my general applications: office, communications, music, and surfing - I am 100% gentoo. I personaly would love to see linux compete in the audio realm, but with the current hardware support being as abysmal as it is, and the simple fact that the music apps are VERY far behind, I dont see it happening anytime soon. I am currently emersing myself in C++ so that I can eventually contribute to these projects. Tony -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
