Use Cooledit and wavelab in win2k or windows NT, I run both progs in win2k
and have never locked it up. As far as hard disk recording, i don't think
linux has any software yet, tho i've heard of some companies thinking of
porting.

Subject: [newbie] Home recording with Linux?
Could anyone help me please? I am keen to try Linux for home recording due
to the instability of Windoze. Firstly let me say that I have absolutely no
interest in learning how Linux works - I simply want a stable environment in
which to work. I have a second HD (2g) and would like to turn this over
entirely to Linux for my recording.
Firstly, does anyone know of any good software packages for this purpose? I
currently use Cool Edit Pro with Windoze. A chap in Germany told me he had
heard of 'SWave' (apparently similar to WaveLab). I use .wav files for all
my recording.
Secondly (and the BIG one!), installing. Can I load Mandrake 7 on my 2nd
drive and use a dual booting system of some kind? I've tried RH and given up
completely and also Caldera Open Linux. This one was a little more
successful but I still gave up. It seems to me that you need to be capable
of running the Starship Enterprise to be able to get anywhere! I have no
interest in becoming Cpt' Kirk - I just wanna play music!!
Any help/advice would be truly appreciated,
Thankx,
Toni Vines.
