Hi,

 
Just to stick my head above the parapet. 

 
I’m actually the person behind the Radiotools site, so I just wanted to make 
clear that “Airpro” exists really in name only to refer to Rivendell 2.19.3 
with a few patches and internationalisations for the UK. The naming is because 
I provide volunteer IT support for several community radio (LPFM) stations and 
got fed up with people confusing “normal” Rivendell with our patched version 
that corrects the UK date format and backports a few bug fixes, so it seemed 
wrong to be distributing something that was branded “Rivendell” but might cause 
support issues for other people if they couldn’t tell that it had been modified 
slightly.

 
Having said that, my station (First 105.1 FM in Oxford, UK) has been running it 
24/7 on Mint 19 for several years with rock solid stability so far (touch 
wood). This includes at least 6 RD machines including those used for remote 
voicetracking and admin. However, we’re currently stuck on Rivendell 2.19.3 as 
I’ve just not been able to get 3.x working on Mint 19 or 20 to the level I feel 
comfortable with and we also have a lot of bodged scripts that talk directly to 
the database and would need updating for the new schema (not a major issue but 
the current system works so there is risk in changing it without extensive 
testing).

 
Best regards,

Jonathan

Everyone may already know the folks at RadioTools broadcast software in the UK 
have devised a way to run Rivendell under Linux Mint; a desktop distro based on 
Ubuntu. They call their incarnation "AirPro".

 
There have been some good packages created such as RRAbuntu and Edge Radio's 
RPi version with Raspbian, but has anyone here tried Mint as a suitable and 
stable OS? If so, what were your impressions?
