Already gone for those of us on the Gentoo ~x86 front edge. When you next upgrade your X server you'll probably have to revert/move forward with the new modular X config. Easy enough.

[Hampshire] [OT] Conference Audio Recording
I have been asked to make some audio recordings of a conference. The last one I did, I used a cheap Sansa MP3 player that will record the FM radio that the audio was transmitted on. The next one will not be transmitted via FM, so I am looking at how best to do it. My first thought is something like a Zoom H2 http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/h2/ If the facility also has an induction loop, I could probably connect one of these http://www.inta-audio.com/pa-live-sound-c88/induction-loop-systems-c243/adastra-adastra-induction-loop-receiver-with-belt-clip-p3066 If anybody has any experience of making good quality audio recordings with minimum audience noise at conferences without being ably to jack into the sound system, then please let me know if you think my idea will work, or if you have any better ideas. We do not need super hi fidelity, just clear spoken word.

Re: [Hampshire] [OT] Conference Audio Recording
I have been asked to make some audio recordings of a conference. How many speakers' positions? Are you recording the audience as well? The next one will not be transmitted via FM, so I am looking at how best to do it. If the setup is fairly simple (i.e. one rostrum, no audience), I'd get hold of a rifle mic and run it into a laptop. If you can get at the mic stands, you might also like to add your own mics to them. Radio mics make the installation much simpler. If you hire the kit, costs can be kept to a minimum.
